New Year, New You: A Luxury iOS Dev Portfolio Powered by Antigravity
Source: Dev.to
Introduction
This is a submission for the New Year, New You Portfolio Challenge presented by Google AI. I’m Arya Narayan Tiwari, an iOS developer based in Indore. My day‑to‑day work involves crafting high‑end applications for luxury hotels worldwide at DigiValet. After a long break since my college days, I’m excited to be back in the DEV community to share how I’ve integrated AI into my development workflow.
Tech Stack
- Framework: React + Vite
- Styling: Tailwind CSS
- Animations: Framer Motion (for that “premium” feel)
- Deployment: Google Cloud Run
How Antigravity Powered the Project
Bridging the Paradigm Gap
As an iOS developer moving into a React/Vite stack, Antigravity helped me translate complex Swift UI patterns into functional Tailwind and Framer Motion components instantly.
Predictive Refactoring
The IDE anticipated structural needs for my Cloud Run deployment, suggesting Docker optimizations and containerization best practices before any build errors occurred.
Design‑to‑Code Synergy
Antigravity enabled me to maintain a “luxury” aesthetic—clean, bold typography and snappy transitions—by rapidly iterating on CSS variables to match my professional vision.
AI‑Driven Interaction
Created a rich, interactive way to showcase my journey through a portfolio built alongside AI.
Performance
Ensured the site is responsive, snappy, and maintains a high‑performance feel across all devices.
Community Return
Being back on DEV feels great. It’s rewarding to contribute to the community again after my journey from student to professional.
Closing Thoughts
Building this reminded me that while the platforms change—from Swift/Xcode to React/Antigravity—the goal remains the same: creating seamless, high‑quality user experiences.
Happy coding! 🚀
