And does it matter if they show up on applicants LinkedIn profiles or just resumes?

(I know some ATS slurp up LinkedIn profile data, but not sure how prominently it's shown.)

Get a portfolio, not a certificate. Portfolios actually both teach you to be better and are usually appreciated when hiring. I never even look at anyone's certificates, and usually not even CVs before seeing at least some code they have written.
