A Software Engineer Portfolio That Proves What You Shipped
Recruiters and hiring managers skim. A line on a resume says you 'worked on the payments service'; a portfolio shows the projects, the stack, and the GitHub activity behind it. CVfy builds that portfolio from your resume so your impact is visible in under a minute.
Free to publish. PDF & DOCX supported. Private until you publish.
A software engineer portfolio is a personal website that demonstrates your projects, technical skills, and engineering impact beyond a resume. CVfy creates one from your existing resume and GitHub — surfacing your stack, shipped work, and contribution history in a structured, recruiter-friendly site you publish for free.
Build your engineering portfolio in three steps
Bring your resume and GitHub
Upload a PDF or DOCX and connect GitHub. CVfy structures your roles, scope, and skills, and pulls in repositories and a live contribution graph.
Highlight projects and stack
Feature the systems you built, the languages and tools you use, and the outcomes that matter — reordered and edited to lead with your strongest work.
Publish and apply
Go live at cvfy.dev/yourname, add the link to applications and your resume header, and use built-in analytics to see when it's getting traction.
Built to make engineering impact obvious
Hiring teams want signal: what you built, what you used, and how active you are. CVfy surfaces all three without you assembling it by hand.
Project-forward sections
Lead with the systems and features you shipped, with space for the stack, your role, and the result — the details recruiters actually scan for.
Skills and stack at a glance
Languages, frameworks, and tools from your resume become a clean, scannable skills section instead of being buried in bullet points.
Live GitHub activity
Connect GitHub for a contribution graph and repos that show you're shipping consistently — a stronger signal than a static skills list.
Engineer-friendly themes
Pick a terminal, VSCode, or clean bento layout — designs that read as credible to fellow engineers and hiring managers alike.
Resume and portfolio in sync
Because it's built from your resume, your site stays aligned with what you submit, so there are no contradictions for an interviewer to catch.
Free, shareable link
Publish at cvfy.dev/yourname for free and paste it anywhere — applications, email signatures, LinkedIn — then add a custom domain later.
CVfy vs. a resume alone
Frequently asked questions
What should a software engineer portfolio include?+
A strong software engineer portfolio includes your key projects with their tech stack and outcomes, a clear skills section, and links to live work or GitHub. CVfy assembles these from your resume and GitHub automatically, then lets you reorder sections to lead with your most impressive work.
How is a portfolio different from my resume?+
A resume is a static, one-page summary; a portfolio is an interactive site that proves your claims. It links to real projects and repositories, shows live GitHub activity, and is easy to share as a URL. CVfy builds the portfolio directly from the resume you already have.
Do I need finished side projects to make one?+
No. Your professional experience, the systems you've worked on, and your skills are enough to build a credible portfolio. CVfy structures those from your resume, and you can add side projects or GitHub repos as you go to strengthen it further.
Can I connect my GitHub?+
Yes. Connecting GitHub adds a live contribution graph and imports your public repositories with their languages and descriptions. This gives hiring teams a current signal of your output, which carries more weight than a static list of skills.
How long does it take to build?+
Most engineers go from upload to a live site in a few minutes. CVfy parses your resume into structured sections, you apply a theme and make quick edits, then publish. There's no framework setup, styling, or deployment step to slow you down.
Is it free to publish?+
Yes, building, theming, and publishing your software engineer portfolio is free. Your site goes live at cvfy.dev/yourname at no cost. A custom domain is an optional paid add-on, but everything else stays free.
