This is a submission for the New Year, New You Portfolio Challenge Presented by Google AI
About Me
Hey everyone! Thanks for stopping by to read my post! 🙌
I'm Parth Bisht, a pre-final year B.Tech IT undergraduate from DTU (India).
My core interests lie in Generative AI, Deep Learning, and AI Systems, and I love participating in hackathons and challenges to experiment with emerging tools and ideas.
I’m still early in my journey but I learn fast, build often, and love turning ambitious ideas into working prototypes.
Portfolio
Here's my portfolio, explore as much as you like! 😊
☁️ Deployment
☁️ Deployment
The portfolio is deployed on Google Cloud Run.
I also included the DEV community label as recommended:
bash
gcloud run deploy neural-command-center \
--source . \
--region us-central1 \
--no-allow-unauthenticated \
--labels dev-tutorial=blog-devcommunity2026
The motivation
I had wanted to build a portfolio website for a very long time
but i kept postponing it.
The main reason being that I'm more AI-focused than web-dev focused ,so building something interactive from scratch felt overwhelming.😅
Then this challenge appeared at the perfect time.
Instead of waiting until I felt “ready,” I decided to build with AI as a collaborator & not just as a tool.
This project is the result of that mindset shift!
🎯 The Vision
I didn’t want a generic portfolio.
I wanted something that felt like a developer’s natural habitat.
So I went with an IDE-style portfolio experience!
Something that looks like a code editor + terminal, where visitors interact instead of just scrolling.
🤖 AI-Assisted Development Journey
This project was built through iterative experimentation with AI tools:
- I first explored the idea using LLMs like Gemini, Claude, and ChatGPT to brainstorm features, layout ideas, and UX concepts.
- I initially tried building it using Antigravity, which gave a solid starting structure.
- However, due to my limited experience with advanced frontend tooling, I struggled to fully shape the app the way I imagined.
- Just when I was about to give up and start over manually, I discovered that another participant had used Google AI Studio.
That changed everything.
Using AI Studio, I iterated on prompts, refined UI behavior, and gradually shaped the IDE-like experience I had originally envisioned. My prior experimentation helped me write better prompts, and the outputs improved drastically.
This was the first time I truly experienced AI as a creative development partner, not just an assistant!!
🌟 What I’m Most Proud Of
- 🧠 Turning an idea that felt “too complex for me” into a working product
- 🖥️ The terminal-style interaction experience because it feels fun, immersive, and different from traditional portfolios
- 🔄 Learning how to iterate with AI tools instead of giving up when things break
- 🚀 Shipping something real instead of waiting to “become better first”
This project wasn’t just about the website, it was about upgrading my builder mindset.😇
🙏 Gratitude
Huge thanks to the DEV Community and Google AI team for creating challenges that push learners like me to actually build instead of just plan.
Keep learning. Keep building. Become the best version of yourself.
Love & peace ✌🏻
