Front-end developer since 2016. Focused on React with GraphQL while studying software architecture, design patterns, emotional intelligence, and leadership.
I must say that your title got me at first sight. This year I started working on my professional image by including small changes like:
Finished several udemy courses and published their updates on GitHub (by also adding a readme and tags for better tracking).
Speaking of Git, I worked on how to create a Readme profile by adding a personal touch to give a better context of my tech stack now and in my future.
Polished my Linkedin profile by adding more context about my studies, my previous positions, and getting several recommendations.
And recently, I changed my CV from a word-made version into one based on LaTeX (it could be challenging at first, but you can start by looking this awesome template in OverLeaf and make yours).
Now I am focusing on wire up all my online profiles to give consistency (Linkedin <> GitHub <> DEV) and write my first article soon.
But my point here is that I feel that even with all these changes, not having a personal site will left unsolve a specific problem: missing context information about things like my technical experience (for example). I am trying to give not too much info in my resumé and my profiles for better readability, and I want to solve that part by creating a site with the whole story.
Have anyone had that kind of doubt?
If the answer is yes, how did you solve it?
It sounds like you're really well prepared already. What do you mean by technical experience?
There will always be holes that you can fill. But that's also where the interviews come in imo. So maybe your going into too much detail. Did you start applying for jobs with this setup?

When I am saying "technical experience" I want to express which concepts I learned in my work and/or the courses I made.
I know that recruiters have little time to read that much details and they appreciate when a candidate shows what they know or have learned in a few lines, but I think that could send a wrong idea (a classic example are the five star/points aside each technology without much context about what that rate means). At the end, you could be right about interviews and how they fill those specific holes.
So far I didn't start to applying for jobs, I am waiting some more time unit my country crysis stabilizes and I can make the change.
Besides the details I mentioned. Do you think I can improve in other way that creating a personal site? I am open to any advice :D
I have the feeling that you approach the career change very structured. So it seems like you're well prepared. Just try to apply and you'll see what results come back.
From my perspective the best thing you can do to improve is to build projects and try to use professional workflows as much as you can. Most importantly is planning the project by splitting it into features and creating tasks and Git workflows (e.g. GitHub pull request flow). And by writing the code you'll automatically improve those skills as well.
If you happen to be a React developer you can have a look at my course at ooloo.io where you can learn how to work on a professional dev team.

Thank you for the advice Johannes. I will study about workflows and go for that path.
Also I will check your course for a more professional approach.
