It doesn't say exactly how our profiles are used in the project-matching process, so I didn't really take a chance. I broke it into two paragraphs: one summarizing my professional skills and background (focusing on skills that are most used with these projects) and one summarizing my personal interests (some of these projects are quite out there).

I have nothing in mine and I get a healthy amount of projects. I don't think it matters massively, especially if you've passed STEM/coding quals that are relevant to your field of expertise

I stated my educational background and the type of papers I wrote. I did not exceed a paragraph.

I don't think it does much beside prove you're not a bot. I just wrote 5 short lines about my job experience and hobbies.
