What you'll learn

Choose three projects that cover the ground

Pick builds that give you evidence across retrieval, agents and evaluation.

Document a project so tradeoffs are visible

Write it up so a reviewer sees judgement rather than a completed tutorial.

Turn a project into a two-minute answer

Compress each build into a story you can tell when asked in an interview.

Why this topic matters

Certificates do very little now. What moves a hiring manager is evidence you haveshipped something that had to work, and that you can explain the tradeoffs you made.Most portfolios are tutorial follow-alongs with the serial numbers filed off, which isworse than having nothing because it signals exactly that.
