Starting Point

Developer + Wellness Practitioner — Dual-Track

Most distinctive · Clinical future in view

Manning is targeting a full stack developer role at a digital health company where her background as a practicing wellness coach is a genuine asset — ideally contributing to products that support health behavior change, clinical coaching, or patient-facing wellness tools. A remote-first, flexible-hours position (full-time or contract) with a company that can accommodate her concurrent RN nursing program. Her target compensation is $[X]–$[Y] per year.

She sits at the intersection of technology and medicine: an 18-year tech professional who built and operates Train5D — both a live digital health platform and her own wellness practice — where she coaches clients in integrative wellness, functional nutrition, and whole-person health, while also teaching adults to swim at Saint Francis Health System in Tulsa. She actively leverages AI tools across her development workflow, bringing practical AI fluency to every product she touches. She is currently pursuing RN licensure to deepen the clinical side of her practice. She is not interested in health-adjacent roles that are purely technical with no connection to actual care outcomes, rigid schedules that conflict with nursing coursework, companies using "wellness" as branding without meaningful product depth, non-compete agreements that would conflict with Train5D, or positions requiring assignment of IP ownership over her work.

Variations
Variation 1

Developer + Wellness Practitioner — Mission-Driven

Lead with purpose · Outcome-focused

Manning is targeting a full stack developer role at a digital health company whose mission is to improve real patient outcomes — building tools for health behavior change, clinical coaching, or whole-person wellness. A remote-first, flexible-hours position (full-time or contract) with a company that can accommodate her concurrent RN nursing program. Her target compensation is $[X]–$[Y] per year.

She brings something rare to the table: the perspective of someone who has lived this work on both sides. As the founder of Train5D — a digital health platform and active wellness practice — she has spent years coaching clients through integrative wellness, functional nutrition, and whole-person health, while also teaching adults to swim at Saint Francis Health System in Tulsa. She builds the tools she has already needed, and her patients have already used. She actively leverages AI tools across her development workflow, and is currently pursuing RN licensure to further bridge her clinical and technical practice. She is not interested in companies where "health tech" is a category without a genuine care mission, rigid schedules that conflict with nursing coursework, non-compete agreements that would conflict with Train5D, or positions requiring assignment of IP ownership over her work.

Tone shift: Emphasizes purpose over credentials. The line "she builds the tools she has already needed" is strong — it positions her lived experience as a product advantage, not just a background detail.
Variation 2

Developer + Wellness Practitioner — Founder Lens

Entrepreneurial framing · Builder identity

Manning is targeting a full stack developer role at a digital health company that values builders who understand the product from the inside out. She is ideally contributing to tools for health behavior change, clinical workflows, or patient-facing coaching platforms. A remote-first, flexible-hours position (full-time or contract) that can accommodate her concurrent RN nursing program. Her target compensation is $[X]–$[Y] per year.

She is the founder and developer of Train5D — a digital health platform and wellness practice she built from the ground up over 18 years of work at the intersection of technology and health. She coaches clients in integrative wellness, functional nutrition, and whole-person health through Train5D, and teaches adults to swim at Saint Francis Health System in Tulsa. She actively integrates AI tools into her development workflow and is pursuing RN licensure to deepen the clinical foundation of her work. She is not interested in roles with no real connection to care outcomes, rigid schedules that conflict with nursing coursework, non-compete agreements that would conflict with Train5D, or positions requiring assignment of IP ownership over her work.

Tone shift: Leads with "founder" identity — signals ownership mindset, self-direction, and product depth. Strong for companies that want someone who thinks like an owner, not just an implementer.
Variation 3

Developer + Wellness Practitioner — Clinically Grounded

Clinical credibility first · Tech as the vehicle

Manning is targeting a full stack developer role at a digital health company where clinical understanding is as valued as technical skill — ideally building tools for patient engagement, health coaching infrastructure, or clinical workflow support. A remote-first, flexible-hours position (full-time or contract) with a company open to supporting her concurrent RN nursing program. Her target compensation is $[X]–$[Y] per year.

Her path is uncommon: 18 years in tech, a wellness practice built under her own company Train5D — where she coaches clients through integrative wellness, functional nutrition, and whole-person health — swim coaching at Saint Francis Health System in Tulsa, and now active pursuit of RN licensure. She does not come to digital health as a developer who is curious about medicine. She comes as a practitioner who chose to build the technology her field needs. She actively leverages AI tools across her development workflow, bringing practical AI fluency to every product she ships. She is not interested in purely technical roles disconnected from care outcomes, rigid schedules that conflict with nursing coursework, non-compete agreements that would conflict with Train5D, or positions requiring assignment of IP ownership over her work.

Tone shift: The line "she does not come to digital health as a developer who is curious about medicine — she comes as a practitioner who chose to build the technology her field needs" is the boldest framing. Best for companies hiring for clinical product roles, not just engineering headcount.
Variation 4

Developer + Wellness Practitioner — Concise

Short and sharp · Easy to scan

Manning is targeting a remote, flexible-hours full stack developer role at a digital health company — full-time or contract — focused on health behavior change, clinical coaching, or patient-facing wellness tools. She needs schedule flexibility to accommodate her concurrent RN nursing program. Her target compensation is $[X]–$[Y] per year.

She is a developer and wellness practitioner with 18 years of experience at the intersection of technology and medicine. She founded Train5D — a digital health platform and active wellness practice — coaches clients in integrative wellness and functional nutrition, teaches adults to swim at Saint Francis Health System in Tulsa, and is pursuing RN licensure. She uses AI tools daily in her development workflow. She is not interested in roles disconnected from real care outcomes, inflexible schedules, non-competes that conflict with Train5D, or IP assignment.

Tone shift: Stripped down — every sentence earns its place. Best for contexts where you need to say it fast (LinkedIn summary, cold outreach, introductions). Loses some texture but gains clarity and confidence.
Variation 5

Developer + Wellness Practitioner — Narrative Voice

Personal tone · Story-first

Manning is looking for a full stack developer role at a digital health company where her work in technology and her work in wellness aren't two separate things — they're the same thing. She is drawn to products that support health behavior change, clinical coaching, or patient-facing care tools, and is seeking a remote, flexible-hours position (full-time or contract) that can work alongside her concurrent RN nursing program. Her target compensation is $[X]–$[Y] per year.

For 18 years, she has been building at the intersection of technology and health. She founded Train5D as both a digital health platform and a wellness practice, coaching clients in integrative wellness, functional nutrition, and whole-person health. She teaches adults to swim at Saint Francis Health System in Tulsa. She integrates AI tools into her development workflow as naturally as any other part of her stack. And she is now pursuing RN licensure — not as a career change, but as the next layer of the same practice. She is not interested in roles where "health tech" stops at the product layer and never touches a real patient, rigid schedules that conflict with nursing coursework, non-compete agreements that would conflict with Train5D, or positions requiring assignment of IP ownership over her work.

Tone shift: Most human of the variations — reads like a person, not a resume. The closing "not as a career change, but as the next layer of the same practice" reframes the RN pursuit as continuity, not disruption. Best for cover letters, personal introductions, or mission-driven companies that respond to story.
