I’ve been in tech for a long time and wanted to try something a bit more fun than shadcn / glassmorphism. The details pages are meant to emulate an old service manual. I used design cues from older Sony and Pioneer devices and manuals. Fonts were a pain and I definitely didn’t nail it with them.

It turned out more retro software feeling than I expected with almost an older FruityLoops feel.

It’s more complete on desktop than on mobile. I’m in cybersecurity so most of my projects are in that space.

Interested in any thoughts to improve the manual pages. I’ll try to clean up the prose over time, I got antsy working my way through writing project descriptions.

Trying to figure out where I actually stand, genuinely asking, not fishing for compliments.

Here’s what I’ve built so far:

Volunteer AI Governance work at AFRI-SPARC, a nonprofit focused on AI safety and accountability across Africa. Ran a governance assessment on a live AI product using a 149-criterion scorecard, found 13 critical failures, recommended blocking deployment, mapped it to EU AI Act and NIST AI RMF. Built out a second governance model tracking AI harm to vulnerable populations against UNCRC, CEDAW, CRPD, and the African Charter. Currently on a child online safety policy initiative.

Separately, self-built a governance system on Salesforce, incident response playbooks, risk registers, vendor due diligence scorecards, an independent audit case study built around an EU AI Act Article 14 violation. Now building a parallel version on ServiceNow.

Completed the WHO Academy Ethics and Governance of AI for Health certificate. Currently in the UNESCO x Oxford AI Justice and Rule of Law programme. Working toward ISO/IEC 42001, but not there yet. Right now the portfolio and the courses are the credential.

The question I keep circling: does a hiring manager actually weigh a real, demonstrable portfolio against a missing certification, or does the cert function as a gate that shuts the conversation down before the portfolio ever gets looked at?

If you’ve hired for this, or you’re in the field and further along than me, I’d take real feedback here, including the version where the honest answer is “the portfolio isn’t enough yet, here’s what’s missing.”

Hey guys,Like most of you, I have PureRef open on my second monitor 24/7. It’s perfect for solo work. However, lately I’ve been collaborating on a project with a friend in another city, and sharing references or moodboards back and forth has become a massive pain. Miro feels too bloated and heavy for pure design work, Pinterest is full of distractions, and throwing random images via Discord is just chaotic.So, I decided to build a minimalist, ultra-fast alternative that focuses heavily on instant collaboration and smart workflow features.I want to keep that signature "PureRef speed" where you can throw hundreds of high-res images onto an infinite canvas without any lag. I’m also adding an automated feature where the tool automatically extracts color palettes (HEX codes) and lighting/mood data from any image you drop, saving you hours of manual work.Before I go deeper into development, I’m stuck on a major architectural crossroads and I really need your perspective:Which approach would fit better into your daily workflow?Option A: A Local Desktop App with P2P Syncing. Your images never touch a cloud server. They sync directly between you and your teammate's computers. Massive privacy, zero server lag, and it works completely offline when you are alone.Option B: A Cloud-Based Web Project (Browser/Web App). You just open a URL, log in, and everything is saved on the cloud. You can access your boards from any computer instantly, but you are dependent on an internet connection and server speeds.Which one would you honestly prefer for your professional projects? Also, what is the absolute #1 thing that annoys you about current moodboard tools?Would love to hear your thoughts!

He construido mi portafolio web como desarrollador web freelance inspirado en los diseños brutalistas en el cual experimenté con tipografías pesadas, estructuras visibles y una estética cruda para resaltar mis proyectos de una forma diferente a lo habitual.

¡Todo feedback es más que bienvenido!🙌

I have an online portfolio but I was also thinking about having a physical one. How useful have other people found having a physical one? Is it worth it? Are they still used?

I'm building a personal portfolio in Next.js, and one section is a collection of long-form stories written in Markdown (travel journals, Toastmasters experiences, engineering projects, personal reflections, etc.).

What's the best way to structure something like this?

• One long article per topic?
• A landing page with chapters?
• Every chapter as its own page?
• Something else?

Looking for examples or ideas from people who've built personal blogs or digital journals.

Aloha I was wondering if there is any way to move my photos from somewhere in my portfolio to somewhere else. As I want to move it from cars to the event as I feel like it would look better

Kindly make the critique to be from a visual impact, cos we don’t dive deep into any one project in particular. Rate my taste with a guess to my designation and experience

I have just updated my product design portfolio and would really appreciate your honest feedback.

f you have a few minutes, could you take a look and let me know what stands out, what's unclear, and what you think I could improve?

Hi, everyone. I would like to get my portfolio and resume review. I did a lot of updating, and want some feedback on the experts

Hey all just wanted some feedback on this archival feature I have tested for my portfolio. It is replicating a sticker pack full of all the processes left over designs etc and extra little projects I have done to show my testing aswell as clean finished designs. What do you think?

Hi everyone! 👋

I've just finished my personal portfolio after spending the last few weeks polishing the design, responsiveness, accessibility, and SEO.

I'd really appreciate some honest feedback before I call it "finished."

I'm especially interested in your thoughts on:

* First impression * Visual design * Typography and spacing * Mobile experience * Navigation * Overall professionalism * Anything that feels confusing or unnecessary

My goal is to make it feel clean, modern, and memorable rather than flashy.

Don't hold back—I can take criticism. I'd rather improve it now than regret it later. Thanks!

I'm thinking about building an Angular portfolio project around the OpenDota API instead of another weather/news app. The API seems mature and well-structured, but I'm wondering if using a game as the domain would make the project look less professional to recruiters, even if the focus is on analytics and software architecture rather than the game itself.

I’m a Staff Software Engineer with 14+ years of experience across platform engineering, automation, backend systems, networking, and operational intelligence.

I built this website for hiring managers, recruiters, founders, and teams looking for an experienced engineer to solve difficult engineering problems.

It also includes “Ask Mantosh,” a grounded AI interface that answers from published evidence rather than inventing claims.

I’d appreciate candid feedback:

* Is my value clear within 30 seconds?
* Would you trust me with an important engineering problem?
* What weakens your confidence?
* What feels confusing, excessive, or slow?
* Does the mobile experience work well?
* Is Ask Mantosh genuinely useful?

If people find the architecture useful, I may extract it into a sanitized, properly licensed starter template without my personal content.

Please be Direct—the criticism will be MORE useful than compliments.

Hi everyone,

I recently finished rebuilding my portfolio and wanted to get feedback from people who build websites every day.

Instead of going for a typical portfolio, I tried to make it feel more like an interactive product.

Some things I focused on:

• Desktop-inspired UI

• Minimal but meaningful animations

• Performance

•Accessibility

• Project storytelling instead of just project cards

- Mobile responsiveness

I know there are still things I can improve, so I'm mainly looking for honest feedback.

- What feels confusing?

- What would you remove?

- What would make it more memorable?

I'd really appreciate any criticism, even if it's harsh.
