I turned my portfolio into an art gallery

New Year, New You Portfolio Challenge Submission

This is a submission for the New Year, New You Portfolio Challenge Presented by Google AI

About Me

Hey! I'm Tayor Ferran, a developer based in Belfast. I'm passionate about art, music, and crafting unique digital experiences. I've been diving deeper into AI tools lately, exploring how they can enhance creative workflows and push the boundaries of what's possible on the web. With this portfolio, I wanted to express who I am not just through the projects I've built, but through an experience to explore them.

How I Built It

I designed my portfolio as an interactive 3D art gallery using Three.js to create an immersive, explorable space. The idea was to make visiting my portfolio feel less like scrolling through a page and more like walking through an exhibition.

For the AI side of things, I used a combination of:

  • Google Gemini: for generating content and assisting with creative decisions, it laid the ground work with three.js
  • Claude: for code assistance and refining the overall experience
  • Antigravity: tying everything together in the build process

The whole thing is deployed on Google Cloud Run, which made it easy to containerize and ship.

What I'm Most Proud Of

Honestly? The projects section. If you visit the gallery, make sure you walk to the back—that's where the good stuff lives. I wanted the experience of discovering my work to feel intentional, almost like finding hidden art in a real gallery. It's the part that best captures my vibe: curious, creative, and a little unconventional.
