Quest 15 of 15
Capstone: production-ready developer portfolio
Polish a portfolio piece: GitHub repo, README, tests, CI sketch, model card, demo video, and blog-style write-up of math and engineering choices.
Start here
This module builds on earlier parts, but every important idea is explained in context. Polish a portfolio piece: GitHub repo, README, tests, CI sketch, model card, demo video, and blog-style write-up of math and engineering choices. As you read, connect each concept to the worked example and ask what a person must still decide.

Learn one idea at a time
Read, explore, then mark each idea when you can explain it.
Idea 1 of 8
Choose one project with a complete story from problem and data to evaluation and inference. Combining modules is useful only when the final repository remains understandable and runnable by another developer.
Choose a deep dive
Open the topics you want to explore. The detail stays folded until you need it.
Deep dive 1Employers read READMEs first
A clean repo with instructions beats a higher benchmark without docs.
Deep dive 2Show your debugging story
Include one paragraph on a bug you fixed (shapes, leakage, drift) — that signals seniority.
Deep dive 3Worked example: Capstone: production-ready developer portfolio
Recruiter cannot run your project due to missing dependencies and unclear entry point. A responsible response is: Add requirements, Makefile or scripts, and quickstart in README. Correct. Use this case to separate what the technology contributes from what people contribute. The team should compare the intended outcome with a baseline where applicable, record important assumptions, and keep a clear route to correct or stop the process.
Deep dive 4Local check for Capstone: production-ready developer portfolio
Ask whether the examples, data, and assumptions fit your school, company, or community. Generic demos often miss local names, laws, connectivity, and languages.
Deep dive 5Developer portfolio
Code + tests + demo + honest postmortem beats benchmark bragging.
One-minute challenge
