Here is the developer portfolio template that will get you hired

I developed a simple but beautiful developer portfolio template using React and Next.js.

I am a 25 yo developer, i have been trying portfolio templates lately but i couldn't find one that fits my needs. Therefore i have created my own template that you can use as well!

Nearly all the components are dynamic and easy to use! Feel free to use it as-is or personalize it as much as you want. Please give me a feedback and if you find a bug tell me. A star on github is pretty appreciated.

If you'd like to contribute and make this much better for other users, please do.

Great work on developing this stunning portfolio template using React and Next.js! It's impressive to see how dynamic and user-friendly the components are. I'll definitely be using this on my own website. Thanks a lot for sharing this and making it accessible for others!

The phrase "Here is the developer portfolio template that will get you hired" is catchy—but also potentially misleading. There’s no one-size-fits-all template that guarantees a job, because hiring decisions are influenced by context: the role, the company, the team’s needs, and the candidate’s overall presentation. That said, a great developer portfolio can dramatically improve your chances—if it does a few key things well.

A strong portfolio should:

Showcase real work – Not just toy projects or tutorials, but thoughtful, complete examples that reflect how you solve problems.

Communicate clearly – It should be easy to navigate, visually clean, and explain what you did and why you did it.

Demonstrate depth – One or two well-explained projects often carry more weight than a dozen shallow ones.

Include a narrative – Who are you as a developer? What do you care about? What’s your specialty?

Be technically sound – Especially if you’re a front-end or full-stack dev, your portfolio is a product. It should reflect good code practices, responsiveness, and performance.

So, while a polished template can be a great starting point, what actually “gets you hired” is what you put into it—your thinking, your craft, your story. A template without substance is just a pretty shell.
