BUILD YOUR PORTFOLIO

Building your online portfolio is one of the most important things you can do to showcase your skills. Your portfolio should include each of the items in the Portfolio Checklist below, and remember- the design of the portfolio itself is an opportunity to demonstrate your skills, so make it count!

Portfolio check list

This is a checklist of things that your portfolio should contain.

  • About Me (Tell your story. What is your background? Why you are a developer? What makes you stand out?)
  • Your skills (Rails, SQL, React, Javascript, Ruby, AWS, etc.)
  • Projects (Personal projects, previous companies, etc. Use links and screenshots to tell a short story about each one and how you contributed.)
  • Contact Section
  • Resume – downloadable and viewable from portfolio site. 
  • Links to Github, LinkedIn 
  • Responsive design
  • Custom URL – deploy it!

Here is a link to a blog post that goes over much of this information.
