Great portfolios feel edited. They highlight decision-making, not just screenshots. Treat each project like a case study.

Open with outcomes

Lead with impact: measurable improvements, clarity in responsibilities, and a quick reason the work mattered.

Narrate the trade-offs

Senior work is about trade-offs. Mention what you intentionally did not build and why.

• Keep project count tight (3-5).
• Make decisions obvious with captions.
• Show the process, not just the output.
