What a developer portfolio should prove
A practical checklist for turning a portfolio from a visual gallery into evidence of engineering judgment.

A strong developer portfolio should answer three questions quickly: what you build, how you think, and how someone can work with you.
The homepage needs a direct position statement, selected work, visible technical strengths, and a contact path. Project pages should read like compact case studies with context, decisions, constraints, and outcomes.
For search, the basics matter most: unique titles, useful descriptions, canonical URLs, internal links, crawlable pages, structured data, and a sitemap that only includes pages you actually want indexed.
