Tips from recruiters
Group skills by category (for example "Languages: Go, TypeScript") so recruiters and ATS parsers find them quickly.
Link to a repository, demo or write-up for at least one project you can talk about in depth.
Name the stack inside each bullet; keyword matching happens at the bullet level, not only in the skills list.
