New Site For The Old Minimalist
Source: Dev.to
Overview
I’m a developer who believes that the ability to build whatever you can imagine is one of the greatest privileges in the world. For me, development isn’t just about code—it’s about making things simple, minimal, and smooth. I’m deeply motivated by the future of technology, specifically how AI can empower us to create modern, futuristic experiences. My goal with this portfolio was to capture that exact vibe: a digital space that feels alive, responsive, and uniquely “me.” I wanted a site that didn’t just look like a template but felt like an interactive application.
Technology Stack
- Core: React.js
- Antigravity: Used Google’s AI‑first development environment to pair‑program. It helped debug complex Docker build issues, refactor CSS for mobile responsiveness, and generate a custom “DS” favicon logo.
Features
- Bubbling Through Vibe: UI elements float and interact, delivering a smooth, futuristic aesthetic.
- Responsive Design: Refactored CSS ensures mobile friendliness.
- Containerized Deployment: Deployed on Cloud Run using Docker.
Journey
As a self‑taught developer, going from a blank screen to a deployed, containerized application on Cloud Run feels like a massive achievement. I’m most proud of the fact that I built something very close to what I imagined—it works!
