Your profile is your public professional identity. It’s also the “application” you’ll reuse everywhere (jobs, projects, verification, discovery).

Where it lives

• Public profile: /u/[username]
• Edit profile: /dashboard/profile

Create / Edit / Delete (CRUD)

Create

Profiles are created automatically when you register and complete onboarding:

• Register: /register
• Onboarding: /onboarding

Edit

Edit everything from:

• /dashboard/profile

Recommended order (fastest payoff):

1. Headline + location
2. Skills (especially software)
3. Experience + education
4. Add projects (see /help/projects)
5. Social links (optional)

Delete

Account deletion is handled via platform settings and policy. If you need removal or special handling, see:

• Legal + privacy: /legal/privacy

A safer mental model: basic → complete → rich

Think of your profile in 3 layers:

Basic (empty/thin profile)

• No proof, no context, low trust.

Complete (credible baseline)

Minimum for “complete”:

• Real name + clear headline
• location
• 5–15 skills (mix discipline + software)
• experience + education filled (even if short)
• at least 1 project

Rich (high-trust profile)

This is what makes your profile much easier to trust and understand:

• multiple projects (2+ is a strong start)
• each project has credits (contributors) and roles
• linked companies (where you worked / who owned the work)
• software used tagged (when relevant)
• at least 1 public post or update

Verification (for professionals)

You don’t pay to “buy” verification. Focus on making your profile verifiable:

• projects with strong evidence (images + details + context)
• credits that other people can confirm
• consistent identity (same name, same company, same timeline)
