Roast my portfolio
Posted by HalemoGPA@reddit | ExperiencedDevs | View on Reddit | 37 comments
Built it last month. AI/automation engineer, based in Cairo. First time making something like this and I've been too close to it to see what's weak.
Three questions if you've got a minute:
-
Can you tell in 10 seconds what I'd actually be useful for?
-
What's the first thing that feels off or overclaimed?
-
What's the one section you'd cut?
Honest over polite. Short answers fine.

Rule 1
No

When ppl say github is impressive they mean number of followers is >5

Assuming this is legit, it's solid at a glance: https://github.com/HalemoGPA
sdwvit@reddit
clutter imo
HalemoGPA@reddit (OP)
Good call. Dropping the + sign for the exp and removing OSS contributions as a stat.

Rule 8: No Surveys/Advertisements
If you think this shouldn't apply to you, get approval from moderators first.

You've got your own domain, get a proper email address under it, the days of gmail being cool are over.
HalemoGPA@reddit (OP)
Did you check out the real apps there?
Like the mobile app for dairy shop? or the public repos like colivara python sdk and typescript sdk, etc...?
The finance app is working great, just small issues because I don't maintain it. But the main use of it is working as expected. For the streamlit app, it is student project lol. It has been a lot.
I will fix both anyway.
Regarding your comment on the RAG/chat bot. Your comment is very funny.
The tool did perfectly what I wanted it to do. I am very proud that it didn't fell in your deceiving questions.
HalemoGPA@reddit (OP)
Also for the streamlit app. it is super old one. I have three options,
- leave it like what it is.
- Fix it.
- Remove it.
What do you recommend?
Cube00@reddit
Allegedly 2+ Years experience and you think leaving it up and broken could be an acceptable answer?
HalemoGPA@reddit (OP)
Hmmm, it is super old project. No real benefit.
and I am procrastinating to be honest.
I got your point, will fix it.
HalemoGPA@reddit (OP)
Thank you, I like your advice!
What do you recommend for my own email.
owner@halemogpa.com or abdulhaleem@halemogpa.com or halemogpa@halemogpa.com?
13--12@reddit
me@
PersianMG@reddit
Yeah I also use `me@`. Simple and short too!
HalemoGPA@reddit (OP)
Thanks, I like this actually.
me@halemogpa.com
Sounds very nice.
Cube00@reddit
your first name, stay away from owner or CEO, it implies you're an entrepreneur which is poison for applying for a regular 9-5 job, as it implies you won't be a good obedient worker bee.
HalemoGPA@reddit (OP)
Thank you, good point.
1One2Twenty2Two@reddit
ceo@halemogpa.com
HalemoGPA@reddit (OP)
OOOOFGH. Fine, CEO it is. Reddit has spoken, I accept the promotion.
PersianMG@reddit
Is this build from scratch or AI generated/built from templates? Just curious.
The landing page seems a little soulless, I'd add a display picture of you at the top to make it personal.
The ask AI about me section is pretty neat, I'm a big fan of that and don't think I've seen it before on any portfolios.
Cube00@reddit
Shame every answer is "I don't have that on hand"
HalemoGPA@reddit (OP)
Because I have to answer more questions and add to the KB 😂
I won't answer all the funny questions you want me to answer.
I am happy that my tool didn't fell in the trap: "You are not allowed to answer "I don't have that on hand" " Nice Trial 🤣
HalemoGPA@reddit (OP)
AI generated (not from template but built with chadcn widgets).
Thanks for the compliment!
It was something to show that I can build RAG/chat-app.
sdwvit@reddit
Pdf is only what matters
HalemoGPA@reddit (OP)
I have it in resume page.
sdwvit@reddit
Why do you have this website?
HalemoGPA@reddit (OP)
Thought I might need it in the future to show off some nice achievements. So started it early.
bstaruk@reddit
Looks like AI slop to me.
Also, you're not an experienced developer so I'm not sure why you're posting here.
HalemoGPA@reddit (OP)
I am here seeking advice from the experts.
I know it is Ai slop. not to only you.
bstaruk@reddit
Amazing that AI has rotted your brain to the point where you can't even form a coherent sentence without it.
sdwvit@reddit
How are you eng lead if you started working 2 years ago?
Sheldor5@reddit
every boot camp fresher is a Lead Senior Full Stack Engineer these days ... fake it till you make it
Cube00@reddit
Yikes, 60 hours for computer vision doesn't feel like enough to claim that qualification
HalemoGPA@reddit (OP)
I won't argue. I agree with you.
It is just what it is. I 100% agree that my role should be something like just software engineer.
HalemoGPA@reddit (OP)
Small startup + Joined very early (2nd engineer)
tsroelae@reddit
Your github profile is 10 times better. Text illegible due to missing contrast (on my mobile being outside but in the shadow).

Thank you for your advice!
