// for engineering students and new grads
Proof you can build.
Banana is a portfolio for the things you’ve made: CAD that turns in 3D, the build log behind it, and credit for your part of the team. Professors and engineers endorse the skills they can see, and companies see the work behind the resume.
Class projects count. So does the thing you built two summers ago.
Motor mount for a rover arm

- Design for manufacturing 5
- FEA 4
Endorsed by a verified professor, which counts 3×
// what it shows
What a resume and GitHub can’t show.
A resume line says “designed a motor mount.” Banana shows the part, how you got there and who saw it work. Keep your GitHub, and link it.
- CAD people can pick up and turn
- Upload an STL, OBJ, 3MF or GLB and it spins right on your project, like the one above. No viewer to install.
- The build, not just the result
- Build logs show what you tried, what broke and what you changed. That’s what hardware interviews ask about.
- Your part of the team
- Formula SAE, rocketry, capstone: tag who did suspension and who did the chassis, and each person gets credit on their own profile.
- A resume that keeps itself current
- Export your portfolio as a one-page PDF, with dates, roles and endorsed skills already filled in.
// endorsements
Endorsements you can check.
People endorse the specific skills a project shows, not you in general. Teammates can’t endorse their own project, and verified professors and companies count three times as much, with their name on it.
| Who endorses | How we know | Counts |

Paid problems are next: post a small, well-scoped task with a reward and see who can actually build before you make an internship offer. Tell us what you’d post and you’ll be first in.
