🌟 My Desk, My Journey: CSS Art Inspired by My Remote DevOps Workspace

Frontend Challenge CSS Art Submission

This is a submission for Frontend Challenge: Office Edition sponsored by Axero, CSS Art: Office Culture.

🌟 Inspiration

For the past two years, I’ve been working remotely as a Tech Blogger and Freelancer, turning my room into my office with a cozy desk setup that’s been my creative hub. This CSS Art project is a heartfelt recreation of that setup, inspired by the tools and space that fuel my work. My desk isn’t just a workspace—it’s where I’ve grown as a professional, from learning DevOps to launching my YouTube channel to teach DevOps to students worldwide. This year, I’m thrilled to share that I was selected as an AWS Community Builder under the Containers category, a milestone that’s made my desk feel even more like a place of magic and hard work.

✨ Demo

🚀 Journey

My journey started two years ago with just a basic laptop, diving into the world of DevOps and Cloud. In January 2024, disaster struck when my main system crashed, halting my coding for six months. But I didn’t sit idle—I used that time to deepen my knowledge of Networking and Security, which laid a strong foundation for my career. On August 19, 2024, I upgraded to a MacBook Air M3, reigniting my freelancing journey and kicking off my content creation on YouTube. My efforts paid off when, in March 2025, I was honored to be selected as an AWS Community Builder under the Containers category—a proud moment!

Bit by bit, I expanded my setup, adding an external monitor, keyboard, mouse, and a comfy chair, all thanks to staying committed to doing the right thing. My desk has been my constant companion, witnessing countless late nights and breakthroughs. While my main focus is DevOps and Cloud, diving into web development for this challenge was a refreshing adventure. Creating this CSS Art taught me so much about animations and positioning, skills I’m excited to keep honing. Along the way, I picked up some cool lessons:

  • I learnt about the amazing animation in the background, didn't knew it would be soo good.
  • The challenging thing was placing the monitor on the screen as the mouse and keyboard were covering it stands. To fix that, I shifted it to the right.
  • Learnt about the concept of layer while designing the welcome screen for laptop and function for the monitor.
  • Overall the project was challenging and exciting at the same time

Here's a sneak peek from my Work-station:
