Profile Experiences

daily.dev lets you build a richer public profile with structured experience sections. These sections help other developers understand your background and also improve profile completeness across parts of the platform.

Experience sections​

Your profile experience supports these sections:

  • Work Experience
  • Education
  • Open Source
  • Projects & Publications
  • Volunteering
  • Certifications
  • Skills

UI references:

  • Settings routes: /settings/profile/experience/*
  • Main actions: Add, Edit, Save

Where to manage experiences​

Open your profile settings and navigate to the experience section you want to update.

Available settings pages include:

  • /settings/profile/experience/work
  • /settings/profile/experience/education
  • /settings/profile/experience/opensource
  • /settings/profile/experience/project
  • /settings/profile/experience/volunteering
  • /settings/profile/experience/certification

Adding or editing an entry uses the shared experience editor at /settings/profile/experience/edit.

What you can add​

Depending on the experience type, daily.dev can store details such as:

  • Title
  • Description
  • Company, school, or organization
  • Start and end dates
  • Current role status
  • Location
  • Repository or project links
  • Skills attached to the experience

Skills​

Skills are part of the profile experience system and can be attached to supported entries such as work, education, projects, and other experience types.

Skills help:

  • Make your profile more descriptive
  • Improve public profile context
  • Contribute to profile completion and related achievements

Why profile experiences matter​

Adding experiences helps in several ways:

  • Makes your public profile more complete and useful
  • Gives context to your activity and interests
  • Supports profile-related achievements
  • Improves career-related matching and profile quality signals

Some profile completion flows specifically look for experience data such as work and education.

Experience visibility and privacy​

Profile settings make it clear that work experience and education are part of your profile setup, while related privacy messaging is handled elsewhere in the account and career experience.

For account-level profile settings, see Account Settings.

For career-related context, see Career Mode overview.
