The Developer template optimises for technical readers

The Developer template's two-column layout keeps the tech stack persistently visible in a narrow sidebar while the wider main column holds the achievement-driven story. That structure mirrors how engineering managers actually scan: stack first, scope second, outcome third.

Sidebar contents that work

• Languages: TypeScript, Go, Python, Rust, Java, Kotlin.
• Frameworks: React, Next.js, Node.js, Express, Django, FastAPI, Spring Boot.
• Cloud and infra: AWS, GCP, Azure, Kubernetes, Terraform, GitHub Actions.
• Data: Postgres, Redis, DynamoDB, Snowflake, BigQuery, Kafka.
• Observability: OpenTelemetry, Datadog, Honeycomb, Grafana, Prometheus.

Main column patterns

Lead each role with one context sentence (what the company makes, your team's purpose, your scope). Then three to six achievement bullets. End with one tooling note if your stack changed substantially in that role. For staff and principal candidates, surface cross-team work, mentorship, and architectural decisions, not just shipped features.

Pairing

The Developer template pairs naturally with the Software Engineer and Data Scientist sample profiles. For platform or DevOps-leaning roles, weight the sidebar more toward cloud and IaC and weight the main column toward reliability and incident outcomes.
