      <guid>https://dev.to/serhii_serdiuk/a-mario-style-developer-site-built-with-ai-and-deployed-to-cloud-run-32p2</guid>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;This is a submission for the &lt;a href="https://dev.to/challenges/new-year-new-you-google-ai-2025-12-31"&gt;New Year, New You Portfolio Challenge Presented by Google AI&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  About Me
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Highly proficient Senior Software Engineer with over 7 years of specialized experience in front-end development. Brings a comprehensive understanding of modern technology stacks, including TypeScript and Angular. Proven expertise in constructing user-friendly interfaces, optimizing web applications, and system upgrades. Exhibits strong leadership qualities through mentoring roles and active participation in technical interviews. Dedicated to delivering high-quality software solutions for leading technology companies. Keen to apply my skills and experiences to contribute to a dynamic and innovative team.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  Portfolio
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;

&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div class="ltag__cloud-run"&gt;
  &lt;iframe height="600px" src="https://super-portfolio-873709033798.us-west1.run.app/"&gt;
  &lt;/iframe&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;




&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  How I Built It
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This project is a Mario-style, interactive portfolio built as a fast, static React app with a playful “game UI” look.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;
  
  
  Tech stack
&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;React + TypeScript&lt;/strong&gt;: UI and app structure.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Vite&lt;/strong&gt;: local dev and production builds.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Tailwind CSS (CDN)&lt;/strong&gt;: utility-first styling.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Framer Motion&lt;/strong&gt;: small interactions and page animations.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Recharts&lt;/strong&gt;: “POWER LEVELS” skills visualization.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Docker (multi-stage) + Nginx&lt;/strong&gt;: production build served as a static SPA.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;
  
  
  AI tools used
&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Mostly built using &lt;strong&gt;Google AI Studio&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Debugging using &lt;strong&gt;GitHub Copilot&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;
  
  
  Deployment process
&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;CI/CD is automated with &lt;strong&gt;GitHub Actions&lt;/strong&gt;: authenticate to GCP, build/push a container to Artifact Registry, then deploy to &lt;strong&gt;Google Cloud Run&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  What I'm Most Proud Of
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Almost effortless built using modern AI tools.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Real production deployment path: containerized static hosting (Vite build → Nginx) plus one-push deploy to &lt;strong&gt;Google Cloud Run&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
