Malik,

 

Here are a few suggestions to improve your profile:

 

1) Use the industry standard terms in your title. Full stack should have a dash, Node.js should have a period, and Reactjs should just be React: Full-Stack Developer | Node.js | React | Python | Typescript | Figma

 

2) Remove greetings and repeated words from the first part of your overview/summary: "Hi, I am a Full Stack Developer." When clients search for freelancers, only the first 200-225 characters of your summary are shown. This means you have very little space (approximately two short sentences) to get their attention. You want clients to see their goals (your services and results) in this small space.

The remainder of your first paragraph sounds like you and your client will work on their website or web app. Clients are looking for your expertise, so I suggest rephrasing this ensure you take ownership of the development process. For example:

 

I work closely with my clients and communicate with them and their teams to ensure their website or web application is not only functional, but also delivers exceptional value and success.

 

3) You are missing a few important skill categories in your skills list. Since you use full-stack developer, Python, and Figma in your title and summary, you should add Full-Stack Development, Python, and Figma to your skills list. Upwork looks for harmony between your title, summary and skills, and uses these skill categories to match you with relevant jobs, and to help your profile appear in search results when clients search for those skills.

4) You may want to add one or two Specialized Profiles that focus on specific services or completely unrelated services. Having a specialized profile can help increase a freelancer's searchability.

 

You should also consider adding a project catalog. The project catalog allows you to setup a pre-packaged service that clients can buy without you sending a proposal. Due to higher than usual requests for project catalogs, reviews and approvals are taking 10 to 30 days to complete. Read Get Started With Project Catalog for more information.

 

Good luck!
