# Career Goals

Fictional example. Replace with real goals for the active profile.

## Current priority

Find a Senior Platform or Senior Backend role at a growth-stage company where the scope is clearly IC but touches architecture decisions, not just ticket execution.

## Target companies (shortlist)

- Stripe
- HashiCorp
- Anthropic
- Linear

See `profiles/example/companies.js` for the broader target list.

## Known gaps

- Limited experience with Kafka operations at very large scale
- No formal experience with GPU/ML infrastructure (vLLM, CUDA, Ray)
- Last role was hybrid, not fully remote; minor recalibration expected

## Honest self-assessment

6 YOE is solidly mid-senior. Strong backend and platform fundamentals, good cost and reliability stories. Weaker on the pure ML/AI infrastructure side, so should avoid applying to GPU-first roles unless the team has explicit tolerance for ramp-up.
