First the master: http://worrydream.com/ Surprised nobody's posted it yet. Other people are also posting their own, so here's mine: http://www.dougkoellmer.com/ Other job-hunt-specific efforts: http://www.dougkoellmer.com/portfolio/ http://www.dougkoellmer.com/resume/ http://www.dougkoellmer.com/games/ Can't be totally sure but I believe they've gotten me a job or two.

@@@@ Self Promotion Disclaimer @@@@ I think my personal site is a very nice minimal site: https://cmp.is/ I strive to have as little js/css as possible. Currently only has Google Analytics and whatever Cloudflare wants to stick in there. I have to simplify the CSS to the bare basics eventually. I use Hugo to build the site and I get to post many different kinds of posts like links, notes, and real full posts.
Probably drop that custom font too, they are all render blocking.
About the CF's js in the head: probably you have some apps enabled (smart errors?).
You can disable it.
I feel like a lot of people in this thread show very flashy websites. But honestly, if your work is decent, some people will notice regardless of how you present it. Since you ask this question, I doubt you'd make your website total crap. Most of the time more people e.g.: watch my github page: http://github.com/wkoszek page than my real website http://www.koszek.com since its harder to find you on a separate website…
Would love any comments/critiques!

Inline your CSS to make it leaner. Probably drop that custom font too, they are all render blocking. About the CF's js in the head: probably you have some apps enabled (smart errors?). You can disable it.
Yea, I'm thinking about dropping the font so it loads even faster. I do like it, but I can always just specify it as a font to use if it's there.
I'm gonna see how much I can inline to speed it up, but I'm not sure how manageable that'll be with Hugo. I guess I'll just try that in a branch for now.

Its absolutely insane someone could be that productive in 2 years. A lot of the ideas in that showreel are incredible. Yeah many of them probably don't work, but I saw dozens of new interactions that don't exist anywhere else. Plus the demo is >4 years old. That's amazing.
His CV has the following quote: “One of the greatest user interface design minds in the world today.” — Alan Kay
People are obsessed with getting immediate gratification and have little to no attention span these days.
It is for a visual designer, so obviously the presentation of that work is different than academic/technical research, but it is very clean and simple.
Apparently he is re-doing his portfolio as the main site is just a giant tweet.
