A portfolio is proof that you can deliver. It should show problem framing, your contribution, and the outcome.

Pick 3 to 5 strong artifacts

Use case decks, competition results, or project summaries. Quality beats quantity.

Use a consistent structure

• Context: the problem and constraints
• Your role: what you owned
• Outcome: what changed or was delivered

Make it easy to scan

Use short summaries, visuals, and one link per project. Recruiters spend minutes, not hours.
