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 matters because it is the first filter. “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.
The best LinkedIn content for developers is also proof-based. Tiny posts about bugs, tradeoffs, tools, and lessons work better than fake thought leadership.
Your profile should make your next role easier to understand. If it does not, it is just a nicer resume.
I made a LinkedIn Profile Kit for this exact rewrite: https://boosty.to/swiftuidev/shop/19?utm_source=devto&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=freefarm_devto_viral_20260610&utm_content=linkedin-developer-proof-page
