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](/account-details/).

For career-related context, see [Career Mode overview](/career-mode-overview/).

## Experiences and achievements

Several achievements are tied to experience activity, including adding:

- Work experience
- Education
- Open source experience
- Projects
- Volunteering
- Certifications
- Skills
