How to use this template
Prioritise relevant tools
List technologies you can discuss and use, ordered around the vacancy rather than as an exhaustive keyword dump.
Explain the engineering result
Connect technical decisions to reliability, speed, support effort, delivery risk or user experience.
Link only useful work
A portfolio project should have clear setup notes, a working example or readable code; remove an abandoned link that weakens the application.
Give metrics context
Use measurements you can explain, including the baseline, period or method where space allows.
