Prebuilt build path
Follow these phases in order. Each one ends with a portfolio artifact you can show in GitHub, on your resume, or in interviews.
Step 1
Weeks 1-2
Frame and research a real problem
Show you start from users and evidence, not screens.
- Define a problem statement, assumptions, and a lightweight research plan.
- Interview or survey real users and synthesize pains into opportunities.
Deliverable: A research-backed problem brief.
Step 2
Weeks 3-6
Design, test, and iterate
Prove you can turn insight into a validated solution.
- Create flows, wireframes, and a clickable prototype with edge states.
- Run usability tests and revise the design based on findings.
Deliverable: A tested prototype with documented decisions and outcomes.
Step 3
Weeks 7-8
Package the proof for hiring
Turn the work into evidence recruiters and interviewers can verify quickly.
- Polish each repo README with screenshots, setup steps, architecture notes, and tradeoffs.
- Write resume bullets and interview talking points that map each project to Technical Program Manager job requirements.
Deliverable: Public GitHub proof, an updated resume, and interview-ready project stories.
