Hello! I'm sorry to bother you all on a Sunday, but would any IT hiring folks around here mind reviewing my updated full stack dev CV before I throw it onto LinkedIn?

Anything you think I should add? Clarify? Fix? Take out?
Thank you, lovelies! ️

@cariad really good. A few suggestions.
Where possible, quantify things. E.g. "capable of serving X requests per second" or "which did Y million in revenue". Anything with big numbers impresses me.
Add links - especially to your GitHub etc. Talks too if possible. Make it easy for me to see you.
Some places will expect to see education - even if it's only a few lines.
I'd change Interests to "Open Source Contributions". Otherwise it is easy to skip over.

@Edent Ah, fab -- thank you!
That's all solid, and I'm going to struggle to remember + add any metrics from those projects, but you're totally right. I wish I'd thought of writing 'em down at the time.
And ta for the link! I'm looking at those two senior platform engineer roles, and I'll get my updated CV pushed over later!
