Great tips & advice! The only thing I would waver from is using a generator to set up your portfolio. Wix and SquareSpace don't really speak to your engineering skills so I would suggest rather than using a CMS app, build from scratch. If you're not much of a UI designer you can use websites like html5up.net for some inspiration. Not only will building from scratch allow you to tighten up your programming skills but you'll also be able to play with new technologies and libraries you otherwise wouldn't use very often.

Holy smokes, just looking at all the designs on that landing page gave me so many ideas for my own portfolio website. Thank you so much, I've been stuck on design for far too long!
