Build a Developer Portfolio Site From Your Resume

Turn a developer resume into a portfolio site that leads with projects and links your GitHub, then pair it with a profile README.

Direct answer

For a developer portfolio, put a PROJECTS section near the top with what you built and the impact, link your GitHub, and use the terminal theme for a dev feel. Generate the site from your resume, then reinforce it with a GitHub profile README that points to the same links.

Open the Resume to Website tool

When to use this

  • You are a developer and want a portfolio, not just a resume.
  • You want projects and GitHub front and center.
  • You want a quick site to link from your GitHub profile.

Steps

  1. Lead your resume with a PROJECTS section: name, stack, and measurable impact.
  2. Add GitHub and live-demo links to each project line.
  3. Pick the terminal theme for a developer aesthetic.
  4. Generate and export the site, then host it (GitHub Pages fits well).
  5. Add the site link to your GitHub profile README so both reinforce each other.

Example

Resume text
Alex Kim
Backend Engineer

PROJECTS
Rate limiter (Go, Redis) — 50k req/s, github.com/alex/ratelimit
CLI deploy tool (TypeScript) — used by 3 teams

SKILLS
Go, TypeScript, Redis, Docker, AWS
Generated website
A portfolio-style page (terminal theme):
- Header: Alex Kim, Backend Engineer
- Projects section first, each with stack, impact, and a GitHub link
- Skills section
(Pair it with a GitHub profile README linking the same URL.)

Common mistakes

  • Do not bury projects under a long summary; lead with them for a portfolio.
  • Include a link on each project or reviewers cannot verify the work.
  • Keep impact concrete (numbers, users, latency), not adjectives.

FAQ

How do I make a developer portfolio from my resume?
Lead with a PROJECTS section that names each project, its stack, and its impact, add GitHub links, pick the terminal theme, and export the site. Then link it from your GitHub profile README.
What should a developer portfolio include?
Projects with links and measurable impact, a concise skills list, and a way to reach you. Reviewers care more about shipped work than a long summary.
Should my portfolio and GitHub README match?
Yes. Point both at the same projects and links so a reviewer moving between your GitHub profile and your site sees a consistent story.
