When describing a summary of your web developer career in your resume or CV (you know the difference, do you?) remember about `KISS` principle and use that simple yet powerful template:

> `[Your professional identity]` with `[how many years in profession]` of `[broad experience]` in `[Areas of expertise]` with willingness/eagerness to learn/master/practice `[Areas of interests]`. `[Strongest area of expertise]` specialist/practitioner/expert/adept.

Don't panic if it doesn't make any sense and look at these examples:

> * Skilled Sr. Android Developer with 7+ years of broad experience in Mobile Development, Core Java & Kotlin areas with willingness to learn and master Front-end Development and DevOps. App Store SEO specialist.

> * Inventive Front End Developer with 3+ years of comprehensive expertise in UI/UX & Design, JavaScript/ES6/ES2017 areas with willingness to learn and master Back-end Development and Web Servers Administration. Testing, DDD/TDD expert.

> * Creative Node.js Developer with 12+ years of wide knowledge of Operating Systems & Terminal, Machine Learning areas with willingness to learn and master Scrum & Agile and RDBMS & SQL. Blockchain practitioner.

> * Inspired .NET Full Stack Developer with 13+ years of extensive knowledge in Back-end Development, DevOps & CI/CD areas with willingness to learn and master NoSQL and Testing, DDD/TDD. DevOps & CI/CD adept.

> * Results-driven Azure Developer with 12+ years of wide knowledge in Operating Systems & Terminal, Progressive Web Apps areas with willingness to learn and master NoSQL and JavaScript/ES6/ES2017. GOF Design Patterns & OOP proffesional.
