MODERATORS
A friend gave me the best career advice years ago: make a personal portfolio site.
He said nobody really reads through resumes anymore. A portfolio with lots of screenshots or photos, and a very short paragraph works best. Also tack on a resume for those who ask for it.
Organized by category, date, or whatever makes sense. You can use a blogging engine like Wordpress, or a static hosting platform like Jeckyll or Hugo. Assign it a simple domain (like .work or .portfolio). Keep it updated with latest clippings.
Then whenver someone asks, just point them at the site. Print it on a biz card, make custom stickers, etc.
If you want free hosting, check out Github Pages.
