# Full Stack Developer Resume

Templates for MERN, MEAN, and full stack roles at Indian startups and product companies.

## Key Points
- Full stack developers build complex systems — but their resumes should be simple and ATS-parseable.
- A portfolio link in plain text is worth more than a fancy animated resume.
- Startups use ATS too — Razorpay, Swiggy, and PhonePe all filter digitally.
- Your full stack skills need to be in structured, searchable text format.

## What to Include
- Frontend: React, Angular, Vue, TypeScript
- Backend: Node.js, Python, Java, Go
- Databases: PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Redis
- Cloud and DevOps experience
- Projects with user counts and performance metrics

## Common Mistakes
- Listing too many technologies without depth
- Not showing end-to-end ownership
- Missing deployment and DevOps experience
- Not including GitHub or portfolio link
- Using fancy two-column layouts

## Frequently Asked Questions

**Should I list both frontend and backend skills?**
Yes, but organize them clearly: Frontend, Backend, Databases, DevOps/Cloud. Show proficiency level for each stack.

**How important are personal projects?**
Very important, especially for freshers. Include GitHub links and deployed URLs. Show projects with real users when possible.

**MERN or MEAN — which should I highlight?**
MERN (React) is more in demand currently. But highlight whichever stack you've built production applications with.

**Should I mention system design knowledge?**
For senior roles, yes. Mention architectural decisions, scaling strategies, and design patterns you've implemented.

**How many pages should my resume be?**
1 page for freshers and up to 5 years experience. 2 pages maximum for 10+ years. Never exceed 2 pages — recruiters spend 6-7 seconds on initial screening.
