This is a submission for the New Year, New You Portfolio Challenge Presented by Google AI
About Me
I'm Kanchan Ghosh, an independent AI developer based in Leeds, UK with 16+ years in software development. Since 2023, I've built 8+ production AI applications across healthcare, travel, compliance, and fintech—all centred on a privacy-first architecture I call "The Vault." My work includes applications under NHS Digital evaluation and tools used by real care homes and travellers.
I wanted my portfolio to feel like discovering a universe of interconnected projects—not a static list of links.
Portfolio
How I Built It
Concept: A cinematic reveal experience. You start in darkness, click a single button, and get pulled through a Star Trek-style warp sequence into a constellation where four stars represent my four live products.
Tech Stack:
Gemini AI for generating animation sequences, particle systems, and interactive state logic
HTML5 Canvas for rendering the starfield and warp effects
CSS animations for the breathing button and glow effects
Vanilla JavaScript for interaction handling
Google Cloud Run for deployment
Design Decisions:
Black void start: Forces curiosity. One barely-visible button. No noise.
Warp transition: The user isn't just navigating—they're travelling. It sets the tone that these aren't side projects; they're destinations.
Constellation navigation: Four stars, four colours, four domains: Travel (orange), Care (teal), Health (blue), Money (gold). Each click reveals that project's story.
Gemini Usage:
I used Gemini to generate the detailed animation choreography—timing curves, particle behaviours, colour transitions, and the interactive hover states. The prompt engineering for the warp sequence alone was 50+ lines specifying exact visual phases.
What I'm Most Proud Of
The emotional arc. Most portfolios are catalogues. This one has a beginning (darkness), a journey (warp), and a destination (your choice of star).
Each project reveal isn't just text—it's an animated scene: The Vault's door swings open with light pouring out. loveUAD shows a phone pulsing with automated check-in calls. HomeRule visualises evidence connecting to answers. FindingUrWay spins a globe with travel routes.
Also proud that every star links to a real, live, revenue-generating or NHS-evaluated product—not mockups.
