This Thanksgiving week, I focused on two essential tasks: upgrading my digital portfolio and refining my LinkedIn profile. Both of them are critical steps in shaping how I present myself professionally.
For my digital portfolio, I overhauled the CMS to significantly boost its speed and performance. This improvement ensures that visitors have a seamless experience while browsing my portfolio. Additionally, I implemented Cloudflare for basic security measures, protecting my site from threats like DDoS attacks and ensuring uninterrupted access. The combination of enhanced performance and added protection means my portfolio is more secure and efficient.
On the LinkedIn side, I made several key updates. I added my latest accomplishments. By keeping my profile up-to-date, I ensure that potential collaborators, mentors, or employers see the most current version of my work and achievements. I also expanded my network, connecting with professionals in AI and other relevant fields. These connections are invaluable for learning, staying updated on industry trends, and opening doors for future opportunities.
While these might seem like routine tasks, upgrading my digital portfolio and enhancing my LinkedIn profile are crucial for my personal brand. By investing time into these updates, I have strengthened how I present myself to the world, ensuring that I am ready for both academic and professional opportunities that come my way.
