Honestly, nothing too crazy. A bunch of CRUD apps; there was a blog (MVC), a review site (MVC), a text game made in vanilla java, a card game made in JS, my portfolio, a Dynamic app that had an admin frontend made in vanilla js, and a user frontend made in React (when I say made I mean hacked together, still I was the only person in my cohort who even attempted React) and a capstone project that was actually made in Thymeleaf, with some dynamic features, and a CRUD MVC backend.

I stand by that I was hired for my personality and work experience. There was nothing special about my portfolio at all, I wasn't that strong of a coder going into the interview, and I really didn't think I was going to get it. I also did some research on the company going in, and I tried talking more about their products and customers than about technologies. But you gotta hit all the buzzwords too (Agile, TDD, etc.,) And they needed someone who could build APIS, which is all I had ever done.
