New Year, New You Portfolio Challenge Submission

๐Ÿš€ Space-Themed Developer Portfolio โ€” Mission Control

An immersive, interactive developer portfolio designed as a futuristic mission control system. Built with React + TypeScript and deployed on Google Cloud Run, this portfolio transforms technical storytelling into a playable digital experience.

Instead of scrolling through a rรฉsumรฉ, visitors explore projects, run terminal commands, and even unlock certifications through a hidden space game.

๐ŸŒŒ About Me

Iโ€™m Hrishi Mehta, a 2025 Computer Science graduate passionate about building at the intersection of:

  • ๐Ÿค– AI/ML Engineering
  • ๐Ÿ’ป Full Stack Development
  • โ˜๏ธ Cloud & DevOps

I believe portfolios should do more than list projects โ€” they should demonstrate creativity, engineering depth, and problem-solving through interaction.

This project reflects how I think: immersive, technical, and experience-driven.


๐ŸŽฎ Interactive Portfolio Experience

This portfolio functions like a digital spaceship cockpit where recruiters can explore my work.

๐Ÿ•น Space Game (Easter Egg)

A custom HTML5 Canvas space shooter where players dodge asteroids and unlock hidden certification messages. Gamified credential discovery turns passive viewing into an engaging experience.

๐Ÿ’ป Interactive Terminal

A fully functional in-browser CLI:

Includes real command parsing, filtering, command history, and hidden easter egg commands.

๐Ÿค– Tactical AI Dock

A simulated AI analysis system that scans my profile and presents key strengths with animated โ€œmission-readyโ€ diagnostics.


๐Ÿ›  Tech Stack โ€” The Starship Arsenal

Frontend Command Center

  • React 18 + TypeScript
  • Vite
  • Framer Motion
  • Canvas API
  • Tailwind CSS

๐ŸŒ  Design System โ€” Mission Control Aesthetic

The entire interface follows a space-cyberpunk design language:

  • Glassmorphism panels with blur and glow
  • Neon domain color system
    • Cyan โ†’ Web
    • Purple โ†’ AI
    • Green โ†’ Security
  • Animated starfields and parallax depth
  • Military-style project IDs (SITREP_01/AI)
  • Real-time system status indicators (ACTIVE โ€ข LIVE โ€ข SECURED)

๐ŸŒŸ Key Highlights

๐ŸŽฎ Gamified Portfolio Exploration

Certifications and achievements are discovered by playing, not just reading.

๐Ÿ’ป Real Functional Terminal

Not a visual mockup โ€” a working command system with dynamic rendering.

โšก Performance Engineering

  • 95+ Lighthouse score
  • ~180KB gzipped bundle
  • <2s load time
  • Optimized Docker image (~25MB)

โ˜๏ธ Cloud-Native Deployment

Keyboard navigation, ARIA labels, WCAG-compliant contrast, and responsive layouts across devices.


๐Ÿš€ Projects Featured (Mission Reports)

17+ interactive projects across AI, Web, and Security domains, presented as classified mission reports with live status indicators.

These include:

  • AI-powered document analyzers
  • NLP chatbots
  • ML recommendation systems
  • Graph database applications
  • Security automation tools
  • Real-time dashboards
  • Interactive browser games

Each project is structured to highlight problem, technology, architecture, and outcome.

Certified across AI, cloud, databases, and security domains, with hands-on experience in:

  • AI/ML internships (LLMs, NLP, RAG systems)
  • Cybersecurity and ethical hacking roles
  • Backend engineering with Python and Java
  • Freelance full-stack cloud deployments

๐Ÿ›ฐ๏ธ What Makes This Portfolio Different

Most portfolios are static.

This one is:

๐ŸŽฎ Interactive

๐Ÿค– AI-themed

๐Ÿš€ Immersive

โ˜๏ธ Cloud-native

โšก Performance-optimized

๐ŸŽจ Visually engineered

It demonstrates not only what I know โ€” but how I build, design systems, and think as an engineer.
