Brag Doc Template
Frontend Engineer Brag Doc
A brag doc for a Frontend Engineer is the record of user-facing work that shipped, performance and accessibility wins that compounded, design-system contributions other teams adopted, and the cross-team partnership work with design and product that turned specs into polished interfaces. The template below captures all four.

Frontend Engineer Brag Doc
What to include
Frontend calibration is built on shipped user-facing work, performance and accessibility wins, design-system contribution, and partnership quality. Quantify everything (page load metrics, Core Web Vitals, accessibility-audit score, bundle size). Name specific shipped features and the designers or PMs who would back the case.

Weak vs. Strong bullets
The format does the easy part. The bullets carry the weight. A few examples to set the bar.
Weak
Shipped frontend features.
Strong
Shipped 7 user-facing features this half, including the checkout redesign (D7 cart-completion 38% to 47% partly attributable to the implementation quality per designer's debrief), and the search rebuild (task-success 71% to 89%). My LCP work on the homepage moved P75 from 3.1s to 1.4s; PageSpeed Insights score moved 62 to 91 on mobile.
Weak
Improved accessibility.
Strong
Closed 23 of 27 outstanding WCAG 2.1 AA violations in the checkout flow. Added focus-trap to the modal pattern (adopted by 4 other teams), screen-reader labels to icon-only buttons, and color-contrast fixes bringing body text to AAA. Lighthouse a11y score moved 78 to 100 across the audited surfaces.
Weak
Worked on design system.
Strong
Authored the data-table component (sortable, filterable, paginated, keyboard-accessible). Adopted across 6 product areas in 8 weeks, replaced 4 ad-hoc table implementations. New-table-build time dropped from 2-3 days to under 4 hours per the team's component-adoption tracking.
Manual template vs. Bloom generated report
Manual brag doc
- Works when you already remember the right examples.
- Requires manual sorting, rewriting, and evidence cleanup.
- Best for a one-time draft or printable structure.
Bloom generated report
- Starts from the work you captured when it happened.
- Organizes entries by goals, skills, impact, and review period.
- Turns daily evidence into shareable summaries and PDF reports.
You don't fill out a Bloom report. Bloom writes it.
The template above is the manual version. Bloom is the generated version. Thirty seconds when something good happens (speak it or type it) and at review time the entire document is in your share sheet. Same shape as the template. Your numbers, your names, your dates. Already written.
