Portfolio > diploma. Here’s how to build it.
What Your Portfolio Must Include¶
- 3-5 projects with description and live demo/code
- Technologies you know
- Short bio
- Contact (email, GitHub, LinkedIn)
Projects — What to Choose¶
- Fullstack app (CRUD + auth + DB)
- Open source contribution
- Something unique (not a todo app)
- Project with real impact (even small)
Each Project Should Have¶
- Screenshot/demo
- Problem description and solution
- Tech stack
- GitHub repo link with good README
- Live demo (if possible)
Tech Stack for Portfolio¶
- Next.js + Vercel (easiest)
- Astro (static, fast)
- Hugo / 11ty (generators)
- Built from scratch (shows skills)
What NOT to Do¶
- Template without customization
- Empty GitHub profile
- Projects without README
- Broken live demo links
Action¶
One weekend on portfolio, then link it everywhere — GitHub bio, LinkedIn, email signature, CV.
