Complete your profile

Why profile completeness matters

Recruiters, collaborators, and matching systems do not read your mind. They use your persona, headline, skills, availability, open-to preferences, and — most of all — proof on your Builder Passport.

A half-empty profile with no projects usually loses to a clear profile plus one shipped demo.

Checklist (do these in order)

1. Finish persona onboarding (your current stage, not your dream title in five years)
2. Add a sharp headline and short bio (what you build + who you help)
3. Set builder role and skills you can actually demonstrate
4. Add location / timezone so collaboration is realistic
5. Set availability and open-to (roles, internships, collabs, mentoring)
6. Publish at least one portfolio project or finish a challenge submission
7. Review Passport visibility so public vs private matches your comfort

What recruiters and collaborators notice

• Recent projects with problem → approach → outcome (not only a tech stack list)
• Challenge finishes with working links
• Skills that match the artifacts you show
• Clear availability (ghosted “open to work” with no proof looks weak)

Where to edit

Update these anytime under Settings / profile and journey settings. Revisit after every major ship — stale Passports convert poorly.

Tip

Ask Aurora: “What is missing from my profile for a junior backend builder?” Then fix one gap this week instead of rewriting everything.
