The summary
Three sentences that say you can own a feature end to end: how long and in what stack, the one result you are proudest of, and the kind of work you want. Full stack means breadth, so name both sides.
- Name a front-end and a back-end technology in the first line — it is the whole point of the role.
- Put one measured result in the summary; the number earns the rest of the read.
- Say "end to end" or "database to UI" once, plainly, instead of listing ten tools.
- Skip the adjectives about yourself; the shipped result is the evidence.

Does not
Enthusiastic full stack developer familiar with many front-end and back-end technologies, seeking an opportunity to apply my skills.
Experience bullets
Each bullet is a verb, what you built across the stack, and what changed. Show both sides over the role — a UI result and a data or API result — so the breadth is visible.

Skills worth listing
Group by layer so a recruiter sees the breadth at a glance: languages, front-end, back-end, infrastructure. Keep every tool one you could be interviewed on.

Format
- One page until about eight years of experience; keep the stack list tight, not exhaustive.
- Single column with standard headings so applicant tracking systems read it in order.
- Show breadth in the bullets, not a 40-item skills wall — the work proves the range.
- Link a live project or GitHub; for full stack, something you shipped end to end is worth more than any list.
