Example bullets

The numbers are examples. Replace them with your own and round honestly.

  • Rebuilt the product page in Next.js and cut Largest Contentful Paint from 4.1 s to 1.9 s.
  • Fixed 60 accessibility issues flagged by an audit and brought the app to WCAG 2.1 AA.
  • Built a React component library used by 5 teams, replacing 3 duplicated button and form sets.

Mistakes to avoid

  • Writing "pixel-perfect" with no result beside it.
  • Leaving out a link to a live site or repository, which is the strongest proof you can give.
