A developer LinkedIn profile should not read like a short autobiography.
It should work like a proof page. Fast context, clear stack, visible outcomes, and enough specificity that someone knows why they should message you.
The headline gives a reader quick context. “Software Developer” is technically true, but it does not help much.
A better headline says what you build: “SwiftUI developer building onboarding flows, dashboards, and small AI tools.”
The About section should be short. One sentence about what you do, two proof points, one sentence about what you are open to.
Experience bullets should show change. Built X. Improved Y. Reduced Z. Automated A. Shipped B. If there is no verb with a result, rewrite it.
Useful topics include bugs, tradeoffs, tools and lessons you can explain with evidence. Choose examples from work you can discuss publicly.
Your profile should make your next role easier to understand. If it does not, it is just a nicer resume.
Only include achievements you can substantiate. If you do not have reliable measurements, describe the observed change without inventing numbers.
