I'm really curious about how back-end developers, machine learning specialists, or those in cybersecurity present their portfolios when their work doesn't involve much front-end development. Since I'm not very familiar with this area, I'd love to hear how you all go about showcasing your projects when they don't fit the standard GitHub model.

It's true that every project has some sort of front-end interaction, even if it’s just through things like API calls. You might consider creating a GitHub repository that includes a well-designed README. That way, people can see your code and understand your thought process behind it.
Even without a traditional front-end, you still have ways to showcase your work! For instance, you can create detailed blog posts that describe your projects or share your code snippets with explanations. The key is to provide enough context so that anyone can understand your work.
That's a good point! Even if it's not visual, structure your documentation well so it reads easily.
You could also showcase your work by sharing JSON responses from your APIs or using documentation tools. For example, the Pokémon API is a great reference that has no visual frontend but is still very functional!
Exactly! A README can really bring your projects to life and make them relatable.
