It's hard to say how it'll sell, but I do self-directed learning and research, and document it on Github. As a senior dev I feel like self-directed learning of what I need, and no more, is a better look.

A number of years ago I did do a certification on project management from Coursera, which is a good look. Your software related experience should speak for itself, but tangential certifications like project management look like an 'above and beyond' type of thing, IMO.

When I see an actual software certification, my thinking is that this is a person who likes checking skill boxes, but who will miss the big picture when it comes time to actually solve problems.

I'd love to see an example of how you document your learning on Github.
