AI / LLM Hands-On
3“No evidence on resume.” The single biggest thing between you and a frontier lab.
Three gaps are doing most of the damage
Ranked by weighted impact across the nine companies.
Customer-facing evidence
Right now a recruiter can’t picture you in front of a client.
Quantified impact
The work is real, but missing numbers makes it read more junior than it is.
Production LLM proof
The RAG bot is a start. Evals, reliability and a live deployment are missing.

Why one number could never tell the truth
