Frequently Asked Questions

How many projects do I need to get interviews?

Three to five polished projects are enough if each shows a clear problem, clean code, and a decision-ready result. Depth matters more than volume.

Should I host projects in one repo or many?

Use one repo per project with a brief portfolio index at the root. This keeps issues, tests, and READMEs clean and easy to review.

What if I don’t have real company data?

Use public datasets or generate synthetic data. Document how you created it and why it mimics a real scenario. Transparency builds trust.
