Would really love some feedback on this deck. I'm new to deckbuilding, so right now I'm just trying to toss cards in that I think are cool, while trying to make sure money is coming in at all times. Below is my thinking on this deck, please keep in mind I've only been playing for about a month.

I like to run a lot, so Dirty Laundry is a nice way to get some extra credits in the bank while I wait for Opus and Sure Gambles to come through. With Kit giving me Code Gate on the first piece of ICE I encounter each turn, I'm thinking I can use it in conjunction with Escher to switch the corp's ICE around so that I can get through expensive ICE on R&D in the early game by moving them to the forefront and breaking them with Cyber-Cypher. Hoping that my Maker's Eye comes into play with that strategy. My Gordian Blade is backup as a code-gate for the remotes.

I've never used Atman, but I found in my last deck that while I was waiting to get both my Cloaks and then my Switchblade onto the table, I was at the mercy of Sentry ICE. If I can use Atman until my Switch comes through, it should be a nice one-two punch.

Threw a Sharpshooter in there to protect me from Archers and nasty ice, and Self-Modifying code will help me get my Opus on the table early.

Advice. Ideas? I don't have a tonne of packs, but they are listed here below:

Welcome to the net, hellerphant! Here are some of my first thoughts:

Switchblade is a powerful breaker, but you don't really have the stealth gear you need to support it. You have to have 2 stealth credits for every time you want to break a sentry, and only 3 stealth credits total (the three Cloaks).

Normally, I would recommend adding in Ghost Runner or Silencer, but you don't have those packs. I would probably just drop the Switchblades and Cloaks and downgrade to a standard killer: Ninja and Mimic are always classics.

Dropping to 2x Mimic would also save you 2 influence. I would probably spend that on some Datasuckers; 'suckers help a lot with both Mimic and Atman by letting you control the strength of ice. Mimic also likes The Personal Touch, which you are already running.

Scavenge is one of the traditional tools for messing around with Cyber-Cyphers and Atmans. If you have a Cypher on the board (targeting HQ, for example) and one in your garbage, you can Scavenge to swap them for free, allowing you to redeclare your target (R&D, maybe).

It's also worth considering whether you need both Magnum Opus and Professional Contacts. Installing both of those is a pretty big loss of tempo, and unless you have a good reason to do so I wouldn't bother. I'm not positive which one your deck would prefer: Magnum Opus makes sure you always have enough to fuel your breakers, but ProCon into Dirty Laundry or Sure Gamble is a great way to surprise the corp.
