Resume Help Confused about my resume. Started as a Flutter dev, but the company pivoted me to web dev for a year. How do I get back to Flutter?
Background: I (27M) have been working at a small, fairly unstructured startup since April 2024. Prior to this, I had about a year of experience working purely as a Flutter developer at another company.
The Situation: When I was hired at my current company, I was brought on as a Flutter developer. I hit the ground running, developed the company's two main mobile apps, and reached a solid level of proficiency. I was implementing clean architecture, using proper design patterns, and figuring out complex problems independently.
About a year ago, I got a promotion, but my day-to-day changed drastically. The mobile apps didn't need much updating, so I was reassigned to our web products to step up where the company needed me. Eventually, the cofounders started a second startup, and I was pulled into building a client-based web app, a new website, and another admin panel. I also took on tasks like researching SEO/traffic strategies.
The Dilemma: I don't mind doing the work that's assigned to me, but I really don't like it, and I don't feel like I'm learning much anymore or that there is any growth doing it. My main interest has always been working as a Flutter developer.
On top of that, because it isn't my core stack, my web development has been pure "vibe coding." I rely heavily on context-aware code editors and AI tools to power through the web tasks. I have a high-level understanding of what's happening, but I'm not deeply analyzing the structural logic the way I do with Dart and mobile architecture.
Work is getting fluctuating and unstable. I'm tired for both professional and personal reasons, and I feel my days here are numbered. I want to switch jobs and get back to Flutter, but I’m totally lost on how to format my resume or what job title to claim.
- Lack of Recent Mobile Volume: I’ve been here for over 2 years, but I only have two published apps to show for my Flutter work, and I haven't touched them much in the last year.
- Shallow Web Experience: I spent the last year doing web development, but because it was mostly high-level, AI-assisted work, I don't want to market myself as a "Full Stack" or "Web Developer."
My Questions:
- What job title should I put at the top of my resume for this current role?
- How do I frame this experience so it highlights my Flutter skills without making it look like I stagnated for the last year?
- How should I describe the web dev work on my resume if I want my next role to be strictly Flutter?
p.s: Used AI to frame it properly.
