DevCard Concepts

Key terms you'll see throughout DevCard.

Fit Score
How well a candidate's skills, experience, and cognitive strengths align with a job's requirements. Uses structured ontology mapping, not keyword matching.
Confidence Score
How much verified evidence supports a fit score. More project details, linked accounts, and peer verification increase confidence.
Transferability
The ability for skills in one technology to apply to related technologies. For example, React experience transfers to Vue because they share component architecture patterns.
Cognitive Archetype
A developer's dominant problem-solving style, derived from patterns in their work history. Not a personality test — it reflects how they approach technical challenges.
Ontology
DevCard's structured knowledge graph of technologies, skills, and their relationships. It enables matching beyond keywords by understanding how skills connect and transfer.

In the AI era, code is cheap.
Responsibility is not.

While AI generates output, you carry the decisions, ownership, and the consequences. Nothing in your career toolkit was built to show that.

DevCard turns your real work into proof that speaks for itself. It usually reveals more capability than you imagine. Explore privately. It's a career map first, not just a job tool. Share what you choose.

Resumes were already broken. AI finished them off.

Every application looks the same now — and the things that actually make you valuable don't survive a keyword scan. DevCard works differently.

Private Still private Your choice

This isn't another profile to maintain. Add your work however you have it — paste a resume, connect GitHub or LinkedIn, drop in project notes. DevCard structures the evidence behind the noise: what you owned, how you operated, what patterns keep showing up across your career. Most people discover they've been carrying more than their resume ever showed.

What DevCard typically finds

Projects with production ownership 12
Cross-team collaborations 6
Mentorship moments 9
Decisions under real constraints 23

Pick any role you're curious about. DevCard shows you how you'd score — privately. No application, no recruiter, no rejection. Just honest feedback on where you're strong, where you have gaps, and where your capabilities transfer in directions you haven't considered. Your score is based on what you actually did, not how well you describe it. This is the calibration most people never get until it's too late.

Example: Senior Platform Engineer

No one knows you looked
Direct Readiness 48
Transferable Capability 71
Delivery Strength 76
Motivation Alignment 68

When you're ready, you choose who sees what. Specific company, specific evidence, revocable access. No mass applications, no data scattered across 50 ATS databases. The person on the other end sees verified evidence — not a polished narrative. Both sides get real signal. The hype game stops working because the work speaks for itself.

The playing field, leveled

Your score reflects what you did — not how well you write about it
Verification means nobody can hype their way past someone who actually did the work
You control the access — grant it, scope it, revoke it anytime

Built for builders who carry real weight.

This is for you if

You solve real problems in production
You own outcomes, not just tickets
You've built things purely because you were curious
Your best work happened when nobody was watching

How DevCard works

Evidence over narrative — every score traces to real work
Peer verification, not endorsements — specific and bounded
Your data, your control — private by default, export or delete anytime
Transparent scoring — no black box, no hidden enrichment

Not optimized for interview performers, keyword collectors, or people looking for a prettier LinkedIn.

Not what you claim. What your colleagues confirm.

AI can generate a perfect resume in seconds. It can't get your former colleague to confirm you actually owned what you say you owned. DevCard verification is scoped and bounded — you control who gets asked, when, and what they see.

1

You add your work

Projects, technologies, responsibilities, ownership. The real stuff — not a polished narrative.

2

A colleague confirms

Bounded, specific questions about what they actually witnessed. Not "rate this person" — more like "did they own this?"

Your confidence grows

Each confirmation strengthens the evidence behind your profile. More peers, more projects, more trust.

Your title hardly begins to describe you.

The projects you shipped. The things you built because you couldn't stop thinking about them. The decisions nobody remembers because they worked. All of it — in one place, under your control.

Get your free DevCard

Start with a resume upload — that's enough for your first insights. Add projects and verifications over time. Your DevCard compounds with every piece of evidence, becoming more valuable and more yours the longer you build it.

Free during early access. No credit card required. Your profile is private until you decide otherwise.

Questions

LinkedIn is a social network. DevCard is a structured career record. No resume theater, no pay-to-spam, no keyword matching, no public profile pressure, no hidden enrichment. Every score traces to specific evidence you can inspect.

AI extracts and structures evidence from your work history. The scoring itself is fully transparent — traceable math, not a black box. Your score doesn't change because someone updated a prompt. You can always see exactly why you scored what you scored.

Your score is mostly driven by what your peers will confirm. Unverified claims contribute very little. The real path to a better score is more evidence, better-structured, peer-verified. That's actual career growth, not score-hacking.

Nobody, until you decide. Your profile is private by default. You grant scoped access to specific people for specific opportunities — and you can revoke it anytime. Your data is yours. Export or delete whenever you want.

Some of the most valuable use happens outside job hunting. DevCard helps you see where you're strong, where you have gaps, and where your capabilities carry in directions you haven't considered. Use it to make a case for a promotion, identify skills worth developing, discover adjacent roles you didn't know you qualified for, or simply understand how you actually operate. It's a career tool — not just a job tool.

Your public DevCard URL. It becomes available once your profile reaches a serious threshold — including peer verification. A real DevCard isn't claimed. It's built.

DevCard gives you structured evidence from candidates who chose to share deliberately — the opposite of a spray-and-pray application. Scores are transparent, claims are verifiable, and the signal is real.
