1. Is it possible I am overthinking this? Nah, it's good to consider these things. 2. Would it make sense to publish under a pseudonym? I feel like this would give me the ability to network and showcase my skills while being selective about who I show my public portfolio to. I only indicated my first name on my website, so nobody who searches for my full name finds it (also my first name is very common). In my CV I simply put the link to my website. The HR person of the company that eventually hired me even tried out my JavaScript minigame =) 3. Do you have a web presence? Did it ever help or hurt your job search? Yeah, I have a web presence. I think it helps. If it hurts, you're applying at the wrong company, or for the wrong job. Be prepared for questions about your work thought. Details about the inner workings and how you did it. That should be easy if it was a work of passion.
