The main thing to realize is that people may take a really short time to look over a resume, maybe a couple of minutes max. So any project you've worked on, needs to be accessible right away so they can check it - in effect you need to quickly spoon feed them something that shows your capabilities.
So, what not to do - provide some 50-slide online project presentation with a complex summary description.
In the absence of professional experience, what I'd suggest is to build some impressive ML/AI projects, ideally something with a running data pipeline in the background, and put them up online along with their source code. Something like this (below) would really catch my eye on any resume, and would definitely generate some click-throughs and interest. If you could then go on to explain how you single-handedly built out the data pipeline, handled and parsed LARGE volumes of data and what you used to generate the output that would be a great step.
You could even game it, by doing a later public analysis of all the click-throughs and interactions, which would be really impressive.
