Bad code hurts. A messy career—stale skills, stagnant roles, and hidden tech debt—is just as painful. Engineers refactor code to keep it fresh and efficient. Why not refactor our careers?

This talk treats career growth like an engineering challenge. I'll show you how to debug outdated skills, identify growth blockers, and apply CI/CD principles for continuous improvement. Whether stuck in maintenance mode or ready to scale your impact, you'll leave with clear strategies to iteratively upgrade your career without burnout.

Key Takeaways:
Career Tech Debt – Spot and refactor stale skills and habits.
Branching vs. Merging – When to specialize deeply and when to diversify.
Version Control Your Career – Iterative growth, continuous feedback, strategic pivots.
CI/CD Yourself – Continuous integration of new skills, continuous deployment of growth.
Career Debugging Framework – Tactics to assess and adjust your professional path.
Who It's For: Engineers, tech leads, and anyone ready to evolve their career as deliberately as their codebase.
Format: Ideal as a complete talk or lightning session.
