Portfolio Strategy: Signal > Noise

If you want EU ML/SWE interviews, your site needs to compress your credibility into ~15 seconds.

The rule

Ship > polish. Proof > vibes.

  • One clear headline
  • 3-4 projects (only)
  • 2-3 posts that show depth
  • One explicit call to action

What counts as proof

  • Users, merchants, revenue, scale numbers
  • Concrete systems you built (pipelines, evals, infra)
  • Crisp writing that shows you can reason

What to delete

  • Skill bar charts
  • 40-logo grids
  • “interests” lists that read like a new-grad resume
