Software Engineer Portfolio Template

Kabir Sethi — Founding Engineer — founding & full-stack engineer · traceroute

A dark, twelve-section portfolio for a founding or full-stack engineer, organised around a traceroute — the page literally traces a path through the work. It carries the systems, the open source, the craft, the mentoring and a working contact form.

Free to browse and preview. Starting a project from a template needs a paid plan.

About this template

This is the longest and most complete portfolio in the library, and it is aimed at the case where the reader needs convincing about breadth. Twelve sections is a lot, but each one answers a different question an early-stage founder or hiring manager actually asks — what have you built, what do you maintain, what do you teach.

The traceroute device holds it together. Without it, twelve sections would read as a CV; with it, the page has a spine.

How to use this template

Look through the design
Scroll the live preview on this page. It is the real software engineer portfolio template running in the browser, not a screenshot, so what you see is what you get.
Say what you want it to be
Type your business, product or subject into the box, or leave it blank to start from the design exactly as it is. Starting a project from a template is a paid-plan feature; looking through them is not.
Let it be rebuilt around you
The copy, the palette and the imagery are rewritten for your subject while the layout, typography and motion of the original are kept.
Keep editing, then export
Open it on the canvas to change anything by prompt or by hand, then publish it or export the code.

Questions

Does the contact form work?

The form is built into the page and ready to be connected to your own endpoint or inbox.

Twelve sections seems long — can I cut it?

Yes. Ask for the sections you want and the page rebalances rather than leaving gaps.

Is this software engineer portfolio template free to use?

Browsing is free and needs no account — you can scroll the whole design on this page, at desktop and at mobile width, before deciding anything. Starting a project from a template is on the paid plans.

Can I change the colours and fonts?

Yes — every colour in this design is a named token and every typeface is declared once, so asking for your own brand rewrites a handful of declarations rather than regenerating the page. This template currently uses Inter.

Do I need an account to look at the templates?

No. Every template page, its live preview and all the category pages are open to anyone — no account, no sign-up wall. An account and a paid plan are needed only when you start a project from one.

Do I need to know how to design or code?

No. You describe what you want in plain language and the page is rebuilt around it. If you do write code, you can export the HTML and CSS and take it with you.

Can I use it for a commercial project?

Yes. Pages you make from a template are yours to publish and to use commercially.
