Digital Business Cards for Engineers
Digital business cards for engineers — software, mechanical, civil, and PE-licensed. Share technical skills, PE license, and GitHub/portfolio in one tap. Free card with QR + NFC sharing and engagement analytics.
Engineers live inside a resume. LinkedIn, GitHub, a personal portfolio, a list of certifications, a PE stamp for the licensed ones. A paper business card collapses it to a phone number. A NexaLink digital card surfaces the whole stack — LinkedIn, GitHub, PE status, certifications (AWS, PMP, Six Sigma), and a clean contact path — from a single QR or tap.
At conferences (QCon, RSA, ASCE, SAE), at meetups, or at a client site review, an engineer's card should answer three questions fast: what's your discipline, what have you built, and how do I reach you. NexaLink answers all three in the first screen.
Why Digital Business Card?
Discipline and Credentials Up Front
PE, AWS/Azure/GCP, PMP, Six Sigma — all as display badges. Prospects know what you do before they read your bio.
LinkedIn + GitHub in One Tap
Direct buttons for LinkedIn and GitHub. Recruiters and peers find you on their preferred channel instantly.
Resume Attached
Upload a PDF resume or link to your CV URL. Recruiters grab it without an email back-and-forth.
Portfolio / Project Links
Link project writeups, published papers, or GitHub repos directly. No search required.
Stay Current Across Jobs
Change roles? Update the card once. Old paper cards don't follow you.
Conference-Friendly QR
Print the QR on a conference badge sticker. One tap, no typing, no signal required.
Is this the right fit?
A quick gut-check before you invest the setup time.
When to use
- +You attend technical conferences and recruit or are recruited from them
- +You freelance or contract and rely on a portfolio or GitHub to win work
- +You hold a PE license, AWS/Azure/GCP certifications, or domain-specific creds (FE, Six Sigma, PMP)
- +You want LinkedIn and GitHub to be one tap away — not searched from memory
- +Your firm wants consistent branding across engineers but flexibility in what each person showcases
When not to use
- —You work on classified / secure projects and cannot share project details externally
- —You're a staff engineer inside a government program with strict no-external-marketing rules
- —You're early in your career and haven't yet built a shareable portfolio or LinkedIn presence
Step-by-step setup
From sign-up to your first share — typically under 15 minutes.
Add your discipline and credentials
State your discipline (backend engineer, civil PE, mechanical engineer with GD&T specialty, SRE). Add PE license, AWS/Azure certs, or any specialty credentials as badges.
Link LinkedIn, GitHub, and portfolio
One-tap buttons for each. LinkedIn for the recruiter crowd, GitHub for the peer and freelance crowd, portfolio for the client crowd.
Attach your resume or CV as a one-tap download
Upload a PDF resume or link to your current CV URL. Recruiters grab it without email back-and-forth.
Senior backend engineer: 6 inbound recruiter calls in a week after KubeCon
A senior backend engineer attended KubeCon with a NexaLink QR code on his conference badge. The card led with his discipline, AWS Certified Solutions Architect badge, GitHub link, LinkedIn link, and a resume PDF. He shared with about 30 people across the conference.
6 inbound recruiter calls within a week of returning. He tracked which share-context drove the highest response rate (afterparty conversations, not booth booth visits) and optimized his next conference accordingly.
Key Features
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I show my GitHub and technical stack on the card?
Yes. Add your GitHub URL as a one-tap button, list your primary stack (languages, frameworks, cloud), and link featured repos or pinned projects. Recruiters and peers see what you work on without a search.
How do I display my PE license or certifications?
Add them as display badges on the card: PE (with state), AWS/Azure/GCP certifications, PMP, Six Sigma, FE. They appear at the top of the card as a visual credential row.
Can I attach my resume as a download?
Yes. Upload a PDF resume or link to your current CV URL. Recruiters tap once and grab the file — no 'can you send me your resume' email loop.
Does it work offline at conferences?
Yes. NFC sharing works offline (the phone does the transfer). QR codes are just links — offline-readable. The card itself loads from cache if the recipient's phone has seen it before.
Is there a free plan for engineers?
Yes. One free card with LinkedIn, GitHub, resume link, and QR sharing. Pro ($1.99/month) adds NFC, multiple cards (e.g., one for freelance, one for FTE search), Apple Wallet, and 90-day analytics.
