How to use these on your resume

Where: Put them under a Projects section (if not paid work) or the relevant role under Experience.

Format: Lead with the action, name the method, end with the result - exactly what recruiters scan for.

Link it: Put your portfolio entry next to each bullet so a recruiter can click through to the real scenario.
