## 1. The 'Agent Swarm' Project
Your top project should not be a 'To-Do App.' It should be a **Multi-Agent Workflow.**
* **Example**: "Built an autonomous bug-fixing swarm that monitors Sentry logs, reproduces issues in a containerized environment, and drafts PRs. Reduced mean-time-to-resolution (MTTR) by 60%."

## 2. Proving Capital Efficiency
Companies hire AI Engineers to **save money.** Quantify your token economics.
* **CV Hook**: "Optimized RAG pipeline latency by 300ms while reducing GPT-5o API spend by £2k/month through semantic caching."
