Professional Experience

Senior Software Engineer (Frontend) June 2021 – Present
Lyft San Francisco, CA
  • Architected a shared React component library using TypeScript and Tailwind CSS, adopted by 5 internal teams to reduce UI development time by 30% across the driver dashboard.
  • Optimized state management by migrating high-frequency data streams from Redux to React Query, reducing boilerplate code by 40% and improving cache hit rates for real-time traffic data.
  • Identified and resolved memory leaks in the React application using Chrome DevTools, resulting in a 25% reduction in client-side crashes for users on low-end mobile devices.
Software Engineer July 2018 – May 2021
Apple Cupertino, CA
  • Refactored legacy iCloud settings modules into modern React functional components, improving LCP (Largest Contentful Paint) by 1.2 seconds for international users.
  • Collaborated with UX designers to implement WCAG 2.1 compliant accessible interfaces, expanding the accessible user base by an estimated 15% through keyboard navigation and screen reader support.

Projects

OpenSource UI-Kit Contributor React, TypeScript, Rollup
  • Contributed 10+ core components to a popular open-source UI library, focusing on performance-optimized data tables capable of rendering 10k+ rows with sub-100ms lag.

Turning React Tasks Into Engineering Wins

Stop listing features you built. Start listing the architectural decisions and performance metrics that hiring managers actually care about.

❌ Vague/Generic

Built a dashboard using React and Redux for internal users.

✓ Impact-Focused

Developed a real-time analytics dashboard in React that visualized 50k+ daily events, reducing manual reporting time for the operations team by 15 hours per week.

Copied!

Why it works: It quantifies the scale of data handled and provides a specific business outcome (time saved).

❌ Task-Focused

Responsible for maintaining the company website and fixing bugs.

✓ Results-Driven

Improved application stability by implementing an automated testing suite with Jest and Cypress, increasing code coverage from 20% to 85% and reducing production bugs by 30%.

Copied!

Why it works: Shows proactive ownership of code quality rather than just 'fixing bugs' as they happen.

❌ No Metrics

Made the website load faster for mobile users.

✓ Quantified Achievement

Reduced initial bundle size by 45% using Webpack code splitting and lazy loading, leading to a 20% increase in mobile conversion rates.

Copied!

Why it works: Connects a technical optimization (bundle size) directly to a business metric (conversion rate).

❌ Passive Voice

Was involved in the migration from Angular to React.

✓ Action-Oriented

Led the incremental migration of 50+ legacy Angular components to a modern React stack, completing the project 2 months ahead of schedule without downtime.

Copied!

Why it works: Uses strong action verbs ('Led', 'Completed') and emphasizes efficiency and risk management.

React Career & Resume FAQ

Direct answers on how to structure your experience for high-growth frontend roles.

Does the React Resume Template need to be one page?

If you have under 8 years of experience, yes. Engineering managers at top firms scan resumes in seconds. A single page forces you to prioritize your most impactful work and remove the noise.

Should I list every React hook I know?

No. Listing 'useState, useEffect, useMemo' is redundant for a senior role. Instead, show you understand them by describing how you solved a performance bottleneck or managed complex state.

Is TypeScript mandatory for a modern React resume?

In the current market, yes. Most serious React shops (Lyft, Airbnb, Stripe) use TypeScript. If you don't list it, you're signaling that your skills might be stuck in 2017.

How do I show 'Seniority' on a React-focused resume?

Focus on architecture and mentorship. Talk about building component libraries, defining best practices, improving CI/CD pipelines, or how you mentored junior devs to improve team velocity.

What is the biggest mistake React developers make on resumes?

Listing 'React' as a skill but failing to mention the ecosystem. You need to show proficiency in testing (Jest/Cypress), state management (Redux/Zustand), and build tools (Vite/Webpack).

Should I include a link to my GitHub?

Only if it has recent, readable code. A profile with three-year-old 'hello world' tutorials is worse than no link at all. Quality over quantity is the rule for any React resume template.
