Portfolio content collection checklist

Use this as a collection queue. Do not wait until every box is complete before improving the site; one strong image and one credible result per project is enough for the first pass.

Profile and site-wide material

  • A clear headshot or working photo that you are comfortable publishing
  • A one-sentence professional positioning statement
  • Current CV or résumé PDF
  • Preferred public email address
  • GitHub, LinkedIn, ORCID, Google Scholar, and other relevant profile links
  • Short biography (80–150 words)
  • Longer biography covering interests, education, and current direction
  • List of skills you can support with concrete project evidence

Collect for every project

  • Official project title, dates, organization, and location
  • Your exact role and individual contribution
  • Team size and collaborators who may be credited publicly
  • The problem, requirement, or research question
  • Two to five measurable results with units and test conditions
  • Tools, software, hardware, and methods actually used
  • One strong cover image
  • Two to six supporting images: prototype, CAD, diagram, test setup, plot, or final result
  • Descriptive captions explaining what each image proves
  • Repository, demo, video, report, paper, poster, or presentation links
  • Evidence of completion: test result, acceptance, award, launch, deployment, or delivered report
  • Important limitations, failures, or unresolved work
  • Permission to publish team, employer, university, or client material

Engineering evidence

  • Requirements or design criteria
  • System architecture, block diagram, or workflow
  • CAD render or annotated drawing
  • Prototype and test-rig photographs
  • Validation plot with labeled axes, units, legend, and sample count
  • Baseline-versus-result comparison
  • Error, tolerance, uncertainty, or sensitivity information
  • Final design decision and the trade-off behind it
  • Your code or calculation contribution, with confidential details removed

Papers, reports, and research

  • Final title and author order
  • Publication type stated accurately: peer-reviewed, preprint, thesis, course paper, or technical report
  • Venue, institution, year, DOI, or stable public URL
  • Abstract or a concise problem–method–result summary
  • Your individual contribution
  • One representative figure or graphical abstract you may legally publish
  • Key numerical result with necessary context
  • Dataset and code availability
  • Citation in BibTeX or another consistent format
  • Known limitations and current publication status

D03 morphing leading-edge project

  • Final Group D03 paper PDF or a public link
  • Confirmed author names and preferred spelling
  • LeaTop demonstrator photograph with permission/source
  • Photogrammetry comparison figure
  • FEM displacement or strain visualization
  • Experimental-versus-numerical strain plot
  • Actuation-energy result or diagram
  • One sentence describing your individual contribution
  • Confirmation that the 7.73° result and 5° requirement may be shown publicly

Image preparation

  • Use original-resolution source files before exporting web copies
  • Prefer .webp or optimized .jpg for photographs and .png/.svg for diagrams
  • Export a consistent landscape cover crop, ideally around 1600 × 900
  • Keep normal web images near or below 500 KB where quality permits
  • Remove confidential labels, personal data, serial numbers, and location metadata
  • Record creator, source, permission, and required credit for every non-original image
  • Write useful alt text describing the image’s informational purpose
  • Use descriptive filenames such as d03-photogrammetry-comparison.webp

Blog and credibility material

  • Three possible technical article topics drawn from completed work
  • One project retrospective explaining a difficult decision
  • One validation or testing deep dive
  • Awards, certificates, launch records, press coverage, or official announcements
  • Testimonials or supervisor feedback that you have permission to quote
  • Talks, posters, workshops, mentoring, and leadership activities

Before publishing any item

  • Claims match the underlying evidence
  • Team work is not presented as individual work
  • Publication status is labeled accurately
  • Confidential and export-controlled information is excluded
  • Every external asset has permission and attribution
  • Links open without requiring a private account
  • Names, dates, units, and numbers are consistent across the site and CV
