Portfolio content collection checklist
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

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

- 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
.webpor optimized.jpgfor photographs and.png/.svgfor 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
