My GitHub profile wasn’t very polished when I was applying for jobs. It was mostly just descriptions of the projects on my resume, and discussing them during the interview. Reaching out to recruiters at the company after applying, or (even better) connections that work there (even if you haven’t spoken in a while) will also boost your chances of getting an interview.
