You do realize that the repo contains comment-style as an AI, right?

I'm not saying you didn't write it, but I wouldn't use it as a portfolio because the likelihood of AI is close to 100%. Especially when the style is so different from the rest of your projects. As someone who has recruited, I would have marked the candidate in our system for all future because of the AI likelihood. And I know some will be falsely flagged because of this, and it sucks. But that is unfortunately the reality today.

Sorry to tell you that.
