What this bullet means

The employer wants AI used as a responsible engineering helper, with human review, tests, security awareness, and clear documentation.

Sample app idea

AI Campaign Brief Helper that drafts a creator campaign summary from structured inputs while saving prompt history, review status, and final approved text.

Main build outline

  1. Create a form for brand goal, audience, creator category, tone, and campaign constraints.
  2. Generate a draft campaign brief from structured fields, then require human approval before it is marked final.
  3. Store prompt inputs, draft output, reviewer notes, and approval status.
  4. Keep API keys out of source control by documenting user secrets or environment variables only.
  5. Document AI limitations, review steps, and test cases.

Portfolio proof

  • Screenshot of AI draft, reviewer notes, and final approval status.
  • README section explaining responsible AI use and limitations.
  • Secret-safety note showing keys belong in user secrets or environment variables.

Minimal documentation

  • README with the business problem, screenshots, setup notes, and technology stack.
  • One requirements note that maps the job bullet to the sample feature.
  • One test plan note with happy path, validation, and edge case checks.
  • One honest portfolio note that says this is self-directed practice, not employer work.

Modern .NET stack

  • Blazor Server or ASP.NET Core Razor Pages.
  • C# services with validation and dependency injection.
  • SQL Server locally, then SmarterASP SQL Server or Azure SQL.
  • Optional Azure App Service, GitHub Actions, Docker, and AI helper feature.
