For this challenge, I participated in creating a personal portfolio that represent my growth and journey in the tech world.</p> <h2> Portfolio </h2> <h3> Link to my Live Portfolio </h3> <p><a href="https://uaithegreat001.github.io/PortpolioCallenge2026/" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://uaithegreat001.github.io/PortpolioCallenge2026/</a></p> <h3> Link to my Source Code &amp; Dockerfile (GitHub) </h3> <p><a href="https://github.com/uaithegreat001/PortpolioCallenge2026.git" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://github.com/uaithegreat001/PortpolioCallenge2026.git</a></p> <blockquote> <p>Technical Note: I fully containerized this application using a Dockerfile for Google Cloud Run. However, due to billing verification issues that persisted on the final deadline day, I have hosted the live version on GitHub Pages while providing the full Docker configuration in my repository to demonstrate the technical implementation.</p> </blockquote> <h2> How I Built It </h2> <p>This portfolio was created using pure HTML, CSS, and Vanilla Java script to ensure high performance and simplicity, To prepare for the Google Cloud Run requirement, I created a custom Dockerfile based on <em>nginx:alpine</em> to serve my static files on <em>port 8080.</em></p> <p>Google AI &amp; Tools used:</p> <ul> <li>Gemini AI: Assisted in architecting the Docker container and troubleshooting Google Cloud SDK commands.</li> <li>Google Cloud Shell: Used as the primary development environment to manage files and attempt deployment.</li> <li>Antigravity: This is core implementation assistance that written the code and turning the idea to real project.</li> </ul> <h2> What I'm Most Proud Of </h2> <p>I am most proud of the animation physics that was applied during implementation stage and also getting new experience with package Docker container during running the cloud run. As a developer and problem solver we are always welcoming new challenges, solve them, get experience and move.<br> Thanks All.</p> devchallenge googleaichallenge portfolio gemini Usman Abdullahi Sun, 01 Feb 2026 19:25:55 +0000 https://dev.to/devyalan/urgent-help-5777 https://dev.to/devyalan/urgent-help-5777 <p>I have an issue to get verify my card on the billing section of cloud run, but the issues persist please there is solution or other alternative of deploying to rather than google cloud run</p> devto devchallenge googleaichallenge
