APPENDIX H: RESUME PORTFOLIO BUILDING CAPSTONE PROJECTS

ORDERING THE FIVE PROJECTS Present the projects in the order you built them, because the order tells a story of growing skill. Project 1 shows that you can build the basic loop with a safety gate. Project 2 shows that you can manage context and recover from interruptions. Project 3 shows that you think about security when connecting outside tools. Project 4 shows that you can measure quality and watch what a system does. Project 5 shows that you can think about reliability, operations, and release. If a particular job posting stresses one area, such as security or evaluation, place that project first on a short list and mention the others after it. Quality matters more than quantity, so if one project is not yet polished, leave it out of what you show until it is, and say honestly that it is in progress.
