My Philosophy for Building Portfolio Projects
I treat my portfolio projects like real products — not just demonstrations.
Here’s the philosophy that guides everything I build:
1. Solve Real Problems
AutoDutyChecker solves import uncertainty.
InvestWise helps with financial tracking.
AVA reduces repetitive office tasks.
2. Build Systems, Not Demos
A simple model is not enough.
Real value comes from:
- data pipelines
- interfaces
- automations
- reporting
3. Combine AI + Databases + UX
My projects combine all three because that’s what real systems require.
4. Tell the Story
Every project should explain:
- why it matters
- who it helps
- what you learned
This makes your work memorable and meaningful — not just “another GitHub repo.”
