How I Built It
Tech Stack:
- React 19.2.0
- Tailwind CSS 3.4.18
- React Scripts 5.0.1
- PostCSS 8.5.6
- Material Icons, Font Awesome & Devicon
- Docker (to separate build dependencies from production runtime; contains static files + Nginx; additional file, but size savings)
- Nginx (extremely lightweight and performant for static files)
What Google AI tools did you use?
- Gemini 3 Pro
- Antigravity
Development process
Use Gemini 3 Pro to create the design of my website with my details and tech stack details. Used keywords like animation, interactive design, feel modern, professional, trending color combinations, eye catches, transitions, etc.
After multiple iterations, the published design was provided, and I asked Gemini to provide the base code that I used in Antigravity to add functionality like mouse-follower, more transitions, animations like button animations, hover animations, etc, pagination, infinite scroll, optimization for all the screens, and whatnot.
Used Nano Banana to edit and animate the main image of the website.

- Featured across multiple platforms
- My beautiful and challenging career in Cloud and DevOps
