Web developer resume example
On a technical resume, the stack must be visible in seconds and each role must explain what you built and what impact it had. This example uses the Technical template, which leads with your technologies.
Template: Technical · Fictional example: names, companies and details are made up to illustrate the format.
Tips for this resume
- 1Put your main stack in the headline and skills: it's the first filter, human or automated.
- 2Every technical win with its metric: performance, errors, load time, users, test coverage.
- 3Link your GitHub or portfolio only if it's polished — an empty repo hurts more than it helps.
- 4Don't list 30 technologies. Better 8–10 you truly master and can defend in the technical interview.
Frequently asked questions
Should I include side projects on a developer resume?
If you're early in your career, yes: they're your best proof. With several years of experience, include only one or two that add something different from your day job.
Should a developer resume be one page?
Up to about 8–10 years of experience, yes. Summarize older roles in one line and keep the detail for the recent ones.
