I tried to get all the important details on a single page and isolate the tech jargon to appeal to non-technical clients. I personally found and had non-technical friends agree with me that a lot of developer portfolios focused too much on the tech (e.g. "I'm a Node developer who loves React!") or go into too much detail about project specifics so I tried to avoid that.
