PRACTICAL GUIDE / 02
Your work.YourPITBOOK.
Build a profile that introduces you through your projects.
PITBOOK is your public profile on PITMA. Introduce yourself, show finished projects, describe your skills and give people a way to get in touch.
Add your PITBOOK link to a résumé or LinkedIn profile, or send it to a prospective employer or teammate. Visitors can view your profile without registering for PITMA.
A useful profile answers three questions: Who are you? What can you build? How can someone contact you?
Find your profile settings
Open My profile. You’ll see two tabs:
- Portfolio contains your PITBOOK introduction, skills, projects and community contributions.
- Settings contains your photo, personal details, interests, username and GitHub connection.
In Portfolio, expand Edit portfolio to fill in your public information.

These fields are public. Fill in only what you want to share.
Add your photo, name and profile address
Under Settings, check your first and last name and add a photo. Choose one that’s recognizable in a small, round avatar.
Use the same spelling of your name on PITMA, GitHub and LinkedIn so people can match the profiles.
Under Public profile, choose the username for your PITBOOK address:
hub.pitma.space/your-username
Use 3–39 characters consisting of Latin letters, numbers and single hyphens. For example, olena-kovalenko.
Select Save link. Save personal details separately using Save changes.

3–39 characters: Latin letters, numbers and single hyphens.
Save linkWrite a headline that explains your focus
The Headline field is the short line under your name. It tells visitors what you do or what you’re learning.
Try your role or learning stage + your field or type of project. For example:
- Python developer working with data and automation
- Learning machine learning and building my first classification models
- Exploring LLMs and RAG through document search
If you’re just starting out, say so. A specific interest and an early project give readers more information than a phrase like “ambitious professional.”
Introduce yourself in About me
A few sentences are enough. Describe:
- The problems you’re working on.
- The tools you use.
- What you’re learning now.
- The kinds of collaboration you’re interested in.
I’m learning Python and data science. I clean data with pandas, look for patterns and plot them in Matplotlib. On PITMA I turn ideas from Jams into projects and improve the code after review. I’d like to join a learning project that analyzes open data.
Update your introduction as your focus changes or you finish new work. It should reflect what you do today.
List skills and interests
PITBOOK keeps interests and skills in separate parts of the profile.
Interests are subjects you’d like to explore. In Settings → What interests you in AI and ML?, choose one or more fields: Python, Data Science, Machine Learning, LLMs and RAG, Computer Vision or Reinforcement Learning. They appear on your public profile.
My skills in the portfolio editor lists tools and methods you already use. Enter them separated by commas:
Python, pandas, Matplotlib, Git, data cleaning
You can add up to 20 skills. Choose those you can discuss and demonstrate in your projects.
PITMA also displays technologies found in your published Python code. Visitors can see both the skills you list and the tools you’ve used in completed projects.

Set your availability
In Availability, choose the status that fits:
- Open to work if you’re looking for professional opportunities.
- Open to collaboration if you want to work on projects with others.
- Looking for a team if you’d like to join a team.
- Hide status if you’d prefer to leave it off your profile.
You can also add your city and country and the languages you use. Separate languages with commas, for example Ukrainian, English.
These details help visitors decide how you could work together.
Add links and a contact method
The portfolio editor has fields for:
- LinkedIn, for your professional profile.
- Website, for a personal site or another page you want to share.
- Public contact, for the address opened by Get in touch.
Contact examples:
- Telegram:
https://t.me/your_username - Email:
mailto:yourname@example.com
Your PITMA sign-in email stays private by default. You choose the contact method visitors see.
Add your GitHub profile link in Settings. You can also connect GitHub there to sign in to PITMA.
Select Save profile and check that each link opens the intended destination.

Describe your finished projects
Implementations appear in PITBOOK after Merge. Add a short description so visitors can understand a project before reading its code.
Expand Describe your work on your project card. Fill in the three main fields.
Task — what problem did you set out to solve?
Analyze monthly sales and show how revenue changes over the course of a year.
My contribution — what did you do yourself?
I cleaned the data in pandas, handled missing values and plotted the results with Matplotlib.
Result — what did you produce?
My script generates a summary table and a monthly revenue chart. I tested it on a practice dataset.
Optionally add a Demo link, then select Save. Describe the specific result and say if it was a learning exercise. If you built on someone else’s project, explain your changes and additions.
Monthly sales visualization
MergedPin the work visitors should see first
In Edit portfolio → Pinned projects, choose up to three completed projects. Use the arrows to change their order.
Choose work that fits your goal. If you’re looking for data science collaborators, lead with a project in analysis, visualization or machine learning.
Check each pinned project:
- Does the name describe it?
- Is the task clear?
- Can visitors see your contribution?
- Have you described the result?
One finished project is enough to get started. After arranging the projects, select Save profile.

Parts of PITBOOK come directly from your platform activity.
Project fields shows how your published, completed projects are distributed across Jam topics. If two of four projects are in data science, one is in LLMs and RAG and one is in Python, the chart shows 50% / 25% / 25%.
The percentages describe your mix of projects. They do not measure proficiency, and the interests you selected at registration do not affect them.
PITMA also displays:
- Published implementations and project stars.
- Qualifying reviews of completed work.
- Answers that question authors marked as solutions.
- Activity and achievements on the platform.
Open Community contributions to see the associated projects and discussions. Once you have completed implementations, your profile also links to your public PITMA certificate.

How can I handle missing values?
You can start a PITBOOK with your very first project. Add a photo, a clear headline, a short introduction and a way to get in touch. Include your first finished project and update the profile as you build and learn.
