Build a portfolio that works

Turn your work into a portfolio that explains your thinking and decision making, not just visual screenshots.

TARGET PROOF OF WORK DELIVERABLE:

A live, fast, accessible portfolio homepage with 2 deep-dive case studies explaining problem, decisions, and outcomes.

STEP 01 OF 05

Choose one target audience

Decide who you are building for: Founding engineers, design leads, or clients. Tailor your opening sentence directly to their questions.

EXPECTED STEP ARTIFACT

Hero copy: "Product Engineer specializing in React 19 design systems and high-scale local-first apps."

CHECKPOINT VERIFICATION
Action Required

Draft your 2-sentence value proposition.

COMMAND / IMPLEMENTATION
echo "I help [audience] achieve [outcome] through [craft]." > bio.txt
STEP REFLECTION

Does your hero statement differentiate you from 1,000 other generic developer portfolios?
