    Stop referring to the languages and frameworks as your skills. That's a red flag for a bad software dev. Real developers are env agnostic Pick an actual discipline -> Networking/Distributed Systems/Modeling/Systems/UX ECT and position yourself as an expert for that discipline.

      Never refer to yourself as a webdev, that's code for codecamp css monkey. You are a software engineer with a focus on web based User Interfaces. You should be able to answer questions as to why pages look the way they do. Have a good understanding of current HCDI research and visual specifications. Assuming of course you still want to work on web applications at FANG

      You can show that via your GitHub Profile by documenting solutions for questions you do. Or Maybe just participate in one of those coding contest and when you win any of them,write it down as an achievement on your Resume.
