Jessie Frazelle Portfolio
blog.jessfraz.com is an archive of technical posts running from 2011 to the present covering container internals, Linux namespaces, and Docker security, alongside peer-reviewed pieces she published in ACM Queue and Communications of the ACM.
What makes it work
A breakdown of the choices that make this portfolio stand out.
A decade-plus dated archive, left visible
Older, sometimes-outdated posts stay published alongside recent ones instead of being pruned. That visible timeline lets a reader watch her understanding of containers and Linux evolve year over year — depth a scrubbed "current work only" portfolio would erase.
Peer-reviewed writing alongside blog posts
Publishing in ACM Queue and Communications of the ACM — venues with an editorial bar — next to informal blog posts signals the same rigor applied to both formats.
Deep dives into how containers are actually implemented
Rather than writing about how to use Docker, the posts explain the kernel primitives (namespaces, cgroups) containers are built from — the implementation level DevOps interviews actually probe at.
What DevOps Engineers can take from this
Specific, actionable tips to apply to your own portfolio — no generic advice.
Don't delete your older posts. A visible multi-year archive shows depth that a curated "greatest hits" page can't.
Write about the implementation layer beneath the tool you use daily — it demonstrates the understanding hiring managers actually screen for.
If you can get a technical piece into a peer-reviewed or editorially-reviewed publication, do it — it's a different, harder-earned credibility than a personal blog post.
