🚀 Built My Developer Portfolio with Next.js + TypeScript + Tailwind CSS

Ritik Kumar — Thu, 28 Aug 2025 05:38:52 +0000

Hey everyone!
I’m excited to share that my developer portfolio website is finally live! This project is more than just a website — it’s my space to showcase who I am, the projects I’ve built, and my journey as a web developer.

🌟 Why I Built It

As a web developer, I wanted a single place where I could:
Showcase my projects and skills
Share my journey and experiences
Build a professional identity online
So, I decided to challenge myself and build my portfolio using modern web technologies.

🔧 Tech Stack

Here’s what I used to bring it to life:
Next.js (React Framework)
TypeScript (.tsx files for type safety)
Tailwind CSS (for sleek, responsive design)

📌 Features Inside

Home Page – clean and minimal introduction
About Me – my background and developer journey
Projects – highlights of my work
Skills – tools and technologies I’m confident with
Contact – ways to connect with me

CareerFinder: Find Your Career Path with Real-Time AI & RedisAI

Ritik Kumar — Sun, 10 Aug 2025 14:00:05 +0000

This is a submission for the Redis AI Challenge: Real-Time AI Innovators.

What I Built

CareerFinder is a web application that suggests career paths based on a user's skills, experience, and education.

The app uses a React frontend for an interactive form and a Node.js + Express backend to process inputs.

Predictions are powered by RedisAI with an ONNX-based model for real-time inference.

If the AI model is unavailable, the system gracefully falls back to mock predictions to maintain usability.

Key features:

Interactive career suggestion form
Real-time AI predictions via RedisAI
Mock fallback for offline model scenarios
Clean, responsive UI built with React

Demo

Live Demo: [coming soon...]

GitHub Repo: [https://github.com/Mr-spiky/CareerFinder

Screenshots:

How I Used Redis 8

CareerFinder uses Redis 8 with RedisAI as the real-time AI inference engine.

Model Storage: The ONNX model is stored in RedisAI for fast, in-memory access.
Real-Time Inference: When a user submits the form, the backend sends a tensor to RedisAI, runs the model with AI.MODELRUN, and retrieves predictions instantly.
Fallback Logic: If RedisAI or the model is unavailable, the backend switches to a mock prediction generator to ensure the app still returns results.

This setup ensures that career suggestions are delivered in milliseconds, providing a smooth, real-time experience.

“NexWork – A Smart Intranet for Modern Teams (Frontend Challenge Submission)”

Ritik Kumar — Mon, 28 Jul 2025 06:22:49 +0000

This is a submission for Frontend Challenge: Office Edition sponsored by Axero, Holistic Webdev: Office Space

🛠️ What I Built

I built NexWork, a smart intranet prototype designed for modern digital office spaces. The goal was to create a clean, responsive layout that fosters communication, collaboration, and engagement within teams — just like a real-world internal platform would.

With components like announcement cards, employee highlights, quick links, and event boards, NexWork reimagines traditional intranets as more interactive, aesthetically pleasing spaces.

🔗 Demo

Live Site: https://nexwork-project.vercel.app

GitHub Repo: github.com/Mr-spiky/nexwork-project

✨ Journey

This project gave me the chance to apply and improve my frontend development skills, especially using React, Tailwind CSS, and responsive design techniques. Here's what stood out:

🧩 Component-Based Design: I built reusable UI sections like info cards, team announcements, and navigation tiles using functional components in React.
🎨 Modern UI/UX: I focused on clean typography, soft shadows, and spacing using Tailwind utilities to reflect a relaxed but professional office vibe.
💡 Responsive Layout: The site adapts beautifully across devices to simulate a real company’s internal portal.

What I Learned:

Structuring layouts using flex and grid in Tailwind
Optimizing responsiveness and mobile-first design
Writing cleaner, scalable React components

🧑‍💻 Team Submission

This was a solo project created and coded by me.

🙌 Final Thoughts

NexWork represents my vision of how intranets can be modern, useful, and even enjoyable. Thank you DEV and Axero for this opportunity to blend creativity and code with a meaningful purpose!
