My Portfolio Challenge 2026

Source: Dev.to

Overview

This submission is for the New Year, New You Portfolio Challenge presented by Google AI. I am an aspiring software developer passionate about building clean, functional web experiences. The portfolio showcases my growth and journey in the tech world.

Live Demo

Portfolio live on GitHub Pages

Source Code

• Repository:

The full Docker configuration is included in the repository.

Technical Details

• Technologies: Pure HTML, CSS, and vanilla JavaScript for high performance and simplicity.
• Containerization: A custom Dockerfile based on nginx:alpine serves the static files on port 8080, meeting the Google Cloud Run requirement.
• Deployment: Intended for Google Cloud Run; due to billing verification issues on the deadline day, the live version is hosted on GitHub Pages while the Docker setup remains available for demonstration.

# Dockerfile (nginx:alpine)
FROM nginx:alpine
COPY ./dist /usr/share/nginx/html
EXPOSE 8080
CMD ["nginx", "-g", "daemon off;"]

Tools Used

• Gemini AI: Assisted in architecting the Docker container and troubleshooting Google Cloud SDK commands.
• Google Cloud Shell: Primary development environment for file management and deployment attempts.
• Antigravity: Core implementation assistance for turning the idea into a functional project.

Highlights

• Implemented custom animation physics for interactive elements.
• Gained hands‑on experience with Docker containers and cloud deployment workflows.
