Ask HN: How do you beef up your freelancing profile?
I have been freelancing for about 9-10 months for now. When looking out for new work clients always request to see sample code. Now here is the deal: I am under NDA for most of the development work I do. In that case how can I truly demonstrate my skills. How have fellow programmers coped up with this situation?
- ianstallings 14y agoI create applications from scratch and use them as portfolio material. For instance I have a custom iOS app that shows my experience working with video, images, audio, shaders, face detection, HLS, networking, etc. I show this to them when we meet and if they want to see the code I'll invite them to my git repo and we can go over it together.

- ianstallings 14y agoWell for those you can fall back on your references and high-level descriptions of your work. I have quite a few projects that are private/enterprise applications that will never see the light of day outside of their domain. Unfortunately I have to describe these and rely on references. It's the only way I can legally do it.
