Anthropic accidentally wrote a portfolio roadmap for engineers

the career article gets the order right: Python, APIs, RAG, agents, deployment

this PDF gives you the missing map for the agent part

Anthropic splits agentic systems into workflows and agents

that distinction matters in a portfolio

show the pattern you used

  • prompt chaining: split a task into fixed steps, with checks between them
  • routing: classify the input, then send it to the right prompt, model, or tool
  • parallelization: run separate calls side by side, then combine or vote
  • orchestrator-workers: let one LLM break a messy task into subtasks
  • evaluator-optimizer: have one LLM create, another critique, then loop
  • autonomous agents: let the model plan and act with tools over many steps

that list is basically a project menu

build one small app for each pattern and document where it broke

a hiring manager can argue with a credential

it’s harder to argue with a deployed demo, readable logs, and a short note explaining why routing beat a single prompt
