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
Master a product and its story
Show you can translate features into business value.
- Pick a technical product and map its features to three buyer personas' pains.
- Script and record a ten-minute demo with a clear narrative arc.
Deliverable: A persona-tailored recorded demo.
Step 2
Weeks 3-6
Prove value hands-on
Demonstrate the build-and-explain loop sales engineers live in.
- Build a proof of concept integrating the product into a realistic customer stack.
- Write the technical follow-up: architecture, security answers, and rollout plan.
Deliverable: A POC plus professional technical response documents.
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 Pre-Sales Engineer job requirements.
Deliverable: Public GitHub proof, an updated resume, and interview-ready project stories.
