Hi Nisera
Firstly, well done on finishing your Master’s degree.
Seems like you have worked on a bunch of interesting projects. I would recommend separating the presentation and processing parts/code. So you should provide the problem statement, a high level overview of the process (this should ideally not contain any code snippets), summary of your key findings/results, and further steps. The website should ideally not contain any images of code snippets because:
1. It really doesn't add any value to what you are presenting. It will be unlikely that most people will read through your code line by line and try to link it with what is happening.
2. Nobody can run it.
You should ideally store all of your code in an online repository, e.g. GitHub, etc. Doing this can also demonstrate that you are familiar with version control tools - you will be surprised how many people within the data analytics/science space cannot use version control tools properly. Storing the files for all of the tools you used may not be possible in an online repo, e.g., SPSS, etc, but try where you can.
In some cases, it could be beneficial to embed a Jupyter notebook within your website, if you actually provide access to the inputs. This is technically more challenging because one of the difficulties could be how to make certain inputs available. Although if you really want to, then here is a link to a blog post that could help you to get started https://blog.jupyter.org/jupyter-everywhere-f8151c2cc6e8
Also, please add dates to your projects. Your technical abilities certainly appear to have improved overtime (WeatherHair project vs later projects), but it is very hard to track that.
You could also challenge yourself by trying to integrate the use of APIs in your projects, e.g., for weather information, etc. Here is a webpage that provides details about the free weather API from a reliable source https://www.weather.gov/documentation/services-web-api
With regards to your online portfolio helping you to get a job, it would certainly help. At the very least, it demonstrated that you can organise your work well and worked on a range of unique problems with a variety of tools.
I would like to start offering some free help and network with people, but unfortunately I don't live in the US. This is primarily because open source tools and free online courses helped me a lot when I was trying to find my first role.
But anyways, I hope what I mentioned was helpful for you. All the best with your career!
