This is a submission for the New Year, New You Portfolio Challenge Presented by Google AI
About Me
I’m a frontend developer and AI enthusiast exploring the intersection of generative AI and user experience. With this portfolio, I wanted to showcase how Google’s AI tools can empower creators to build intelligent, responsive web apps—without needing deep ML expertise.
** How I Built It**
Frontend: Built with React and styled using Tailwind CSS, focusing on a clean, responsive, and accessible UI that works well with screen readers.
Backend: Deployed on Google Cloud Run, using either FastAPI (Python) or Node.js to handle requests and serve as a bridge between the frontend and AI services.
AI Integration: Leveraged the Gemini API through Google AI Studio to power dynamic text generation, document understanding, or conversational features—possibly pulling content directly from a Google Drive file (as suggested by the Drive-linked URL).
Workflow: Users interact with the app through an intuitive interface; their inputs (or selected Drive documents) are sent securely to the backend, which formats and forwards them to the Gemini API, then returns and renders the AI-generated response.
** What I'm Most Proud Of**
Seamless Integration: Successfully connecting a user-facing web app with both Google Drive and Gemini, enabling intelligent interactions with personal documents.
Accessibility-First Design: Ensuring the UI remains fully navigable and usable with assistive technologies—proving that powerful AI tools can also be inclusive.
End-to-End Ownership: Taking the project from concept to deployment, balancing user experience, performance, and responsible AI use.
