Decide what you stand for with a focus like React or system design, build in public, pick one or two platforms you will actually use, share knowledge not just status, engage with others in the community, and be consistent over years.
Because a focused brand is more memorable than a general one. 'The React performance person' sticks; 'a developer who does everything' does not. You can evolve the focus later, but picking something to start makes you findable.
Sharing what you build as you build it, including projects, progress, mistakes, and lessons. It is the most accessible way to start a brand, since you are already doing the work and just need to share it.
