Link in Bio for Developers: A Portfolio That Recruiters Read

How developers can use a link in bio as a lightweight portfolio: projects, GitHub, skills and contact in one place. A quick guide for job seekers and freelancers.

By the LinkPre team2 min read

Most developers don't need a giant portfolio site. They need one page that answers three questions: what have you built, what can you do, and how do I reach you?

A link in bio page can do that in a few minutes, without a framework, a deploy or a domain to renew.

What to include

  1. 1

    A one-line intro

    "Full-stack developer building tools for small teams."

  2. 2

    Your best projects

    Two to four, each with what it does, the stack and a live link or repo.

  3. 3

    Your skills

    The languages and tools you'd bring to a job. Keep it honest.

  4. 4

    Experience and education

    Where you've worked and studied.

  5. 5

    Where to find you

    GitHub, LinkedIn, email and a booking link for calls.

Show, don't list

"React, Node, Postgres" says little. "Built a booking app in React and Node used by 40 tutors" says a lot. Add a number, a user or a result where you can.
