Frontend developer resume: prove performance, UX and shipping — not just frameworks
Frontend resumes that just list frameworks ("React, Vue, CSS, JavaScript") blend into the pile. The ones that get callbacks prove impact you can measure: faster pages, higher conversion, fewer bugs, better accessibility.
Quantify frontend impact
Weak: "Built UI components in React." Strong: "Rebuilt the product page in React, cutting LCP from 4.1s to 1.6s and lifting mobile conversion 14%." Performance, conversion, and reliability are your strongest metrics. Use the Action + Tech + Impact formula.
The frontend keyword layer
Mirror your target roles (only what you have): React/Next.js/Vue, TypeScript, state management, testing (Jest, Playwright), Core Web Vitals/performance, accessibility (WCAG), design systems, and build tooling. See the ATS keyword gap.
Show product sense
Great frontend engineers think about the user, not just the component. Bullets that mention A-B tests, accessibility wins, or UX decisions you drove signal seniority beyond pure code.
