About Me
Hi, I’m Senthil Kumar, a Full Stack Tech Lead passionate about building scalable applications and exploring how AI can accelerate real-world development.
For this portfolio, my goal was simple:
- Showcase my professional profile in a clean, modern way
- Experiment hands‑on with Google AI Studio
- Deploy a production‑ready app using Google Cloud Run
This project represents how I currently think about development in 2025: AI‑assisted, cloud‑native, and fast‑moving.
Portfolio
Below is my live portfolio deployed on Google Cloud Run.
How I Built It
Deployment
- Google Cloud Run
Google AI Usage
I used Google AI Studio to:
- Generate and refine content structure
- Improve copy clarity and layout ideas
- Speed up development decisions
AI helped me move faster while still keeping full control over the final output.
Deployment Process
- Built the application and deployed using Google AI Studio
- Added the DEV challenge label manually in Cloud Run as required
The result is a fully managed, scalable deployment with minimal operational overhead.
What I’m Most Proud Of
- ✅ Successfully combining AI‑assisted development with a real deployment
- ☁️ Using Cloud Run for a clean, serverless production setup
- ⚡ Fast iteration using Google AI Studio
- 🏷️ Manually configuring labels and deployment metadata correctly
- 🎯 Shipping something real instead of just a concept
This project reinforces how powerful modern cloud + AI tools are when used together.
Final Thoughts
This challenge pushed me to rethink how I build and present my work. Google AI Studio and Cloud Run made it incredibly smooth to go from idea → implementation → deployment.
Thanks to Google AI and DEV for hosting this challenge — excited to build even more in 2026!
