Frontend Developer resume example
Frontend is where performance and accessibility are most visible and most often ignored. A resume that mentions both stands out immediately.
What we would lead with
- Real performance numbers: Core Web Vitals, bundle size, time to interactive
- Accessibility work, which most candidates omit entirely
- Component architecture at scale, if the team is large
The mistake we would warn you about
Framework-first framing. React is table stakes. What did users get?
