A professionally looking portfolio and a well-written resume are both essential to succeed in the job-seeking phase. Unfortunately in our rapid developer environment, we are often so busy and do not want to spend lots of time on building them.

To help you with this, I have compiled an article with useful free tools to create your professional online presence in minutes. I will provide the descriptions, visual previews, and direct links of all the tools, so you can test them out yourself.


1. DevCover

Probably the easiest way to create a developer portfolio. All you need to provide is your GitHub and Hashnode usernames. Deploy on Vercel with just a click.

A service that creates a resume based on your GitHub repos/activity. All you need to create a resume is your GitHub username. Great to generate an overview for tech-savvy people.

7. Resume-template

A simple Jekyll + GitHub Pages-powered resume template. Clone it locally and customize it however you want. For content, customize .yml files in data folder, for customization options edit _config.yml in root.

8. Landing-page

A while ago I built a portfolio placeholder template, to showcase social media links. Pure HTML and CSS. Setup is as simple as cloning and opening index.html.

Bonus resources ✨✨

Some of the best examples for open-source portfolios on GitHub are by Tania Rascia, Britanny Chiang, Lee Robinson and Soumyajit Behera. Study these repos and learn how you can structure your portfolio and write a clean code.

Other awesome resume generators are resume.io, resumemaker.online and standardresume.co. Note that these might require payment to download and customize.

Once you have created your portfolio and resume, it's time to start preparing for the interviews. I have collected a list of resources that will help you with that, too.
