Key Recommendations
Always write detailed tests using Foundry's fuzzing capabilities - this demonstrates security awareness that employers value highly.
Document your code with NatSpec comments and create a detailed README explaining architecture decisions and trade-offs.
Deploy your projects to testnets (Sepolia, Goerli) and include verified contract links in your portfolio.
Add a 'Security Considerations' section to each project highlighting potential attack vectors you've mitigated.
Create a GitHub organization for your portfolio projects and maintain consistent code quality across all repos.
