Score 91React Performance Optimisation

I spent four months applying after CodeAcademy with zero callbacks. One challenge submission on Handshake and Vinted reached out within the week. The AI feedback was more honest than anything my bootcamp taught me.

Score 87Customer Retention Case Study

The score breakdown showed me exactly where I was weak — I had no idea my analysis was missing key segmentation until Claude pointed it out. Fixed it, resubmitted, scored 87. Kilo Health offered me a role the same day.

Score 95API Security Audit

Traditional interviews test you on LeetCode puzzles with nothing to do with real work. Here I built something that actually mattered. My challenge result is the first thing I show on my CV — it’s a score, not just a claim.
