MEET THE BUILDER

The Man Behind The Code

TL;DResume was built by Adam Tervort during an active job search. The problem was personal: copying resumes into ChatGPT for every application was tedious, error-prone, and slow. So he built a tool to fix it.

That's what Adam does. He builds the first version of things.

(He also sometimes talks about himself in the third person, but we'll forgive that quirk for the moment.)

A History of Building

Adam is a generalist who turns ambiguous problems into working systems. Over 11 years, he's led operations, engineering, support, and HR at a cybersecurity startup—helping it grow from a scrappy team into a global SaaS company.

But the through-line has always been building:

TL;DResume

AI-powered resume tailoring (you're using it)

Alignment Engines

Production SaaS for AI-powered coaching (alignmentengines.com)

ComicCaster

RSS feeds for 500+ webcomics (comiccaster.xyz)

Bishopric OS

Notion-based operating system for volunteer leadership

"Adam builds with whatever gets the job done. The tech doesn't matter as much as shipping something useful."

JOBS

What Adam's Looking For

  • ▪ Zero-to-one products that need someone who can do everything
  • ▪ Internal tools that make teams faster
  • ▪ AI workflows that solve real problems
  • ▪ Ops/enablement roles that need technical fluency

Early-stage, mission-driven, remote-friendly teams are especially interesting.

How to Help

I'm not looking for donations or email newsletter signups.

What I'd love: If you know someone who needs a 0-to-1 builder—someone to take a messy problem and turn it into a working system—I'd be grateful for an introduction.
