This is a submission for the New Year, New You Portfolio Challenge Presented by Google AI
About Me
I am a developer and researcher specializing in privacy-first AI systems. This portfolio serves as a high-performance central hub designed to showcase the intersection of my technical development projects (loveUAD, HomeRule, FindingUrWay), my literary works, and my published research. I built this to prove that a professional identity involving regulated industry solutions and creative arts can be unified through a single, secure cloud-native deployment.
Portfolio
How I Built It
The portfolio was built to be a lightweight, lightning-fast gateway to my ecosystem.
The Build Process:
Frontend Logic: I utilized a clean, responsive HTML/CSS architecture to ensure that the visual assets—specifically the real-world logos from my live sites and book covers from Amazon—load instantly without layout shift.
AI Integration: I used Google AI Studio to programmatically generate the concise, high-impact summaries for my four apps, four books, and two research papers. By leveraging Gemini 1.5 Flash, I converted technical documentation into scannable portfolio cards that maintain professional tone and accuracy.
Cloud Run Deployment: The site is deployed on Google Cloud Run in the us-west1 region. This allowed me to bypass the "quota exceeded" errors common in higher-traffic regions while ensuring a serverless execution environment that scales to zero when not in use.
What I'm Most Proud Of
I am most proud of the deployment efficiency. Successfully moving from a local environment to a live Cloud Run instance while managing the "quota exceeds" error required deep-diving into Google Cloud’s resource allocation. I am also proud of the content synthesis; using Google AI to distill a decade of diverse work—ranging from CQC compliance tools to published novels—into a single, cohesive user interface that a recruiter or peer can navigate in seconds.
