Redesigning u11g.com to look like a modern mainframe

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

You can learn all about me by navigating to my page at https://redesign.u11g.com and look around.

I built this site as a "Modern Mainframe" to reflect my life in the terminal, drawing direct inspiration from my daily workflow in Linux and Hyprland. I wanted to move away from the cookie-cutter aesthetics of standard personal pages to create something that feels like a high-performance operating system for my thoughts and work. By prioritizing a minimal, keyboard-centric UI, I’m expressing a passion for efficiency and the belief that the most powerful tools are often the most stripped-back. This space serves as a central command center, aggregating everything from my professional engineering impact and blog posts to my creative experiments in generative art.

How I Built It

Tech stack:

  • Monorepo with turborepo and pnpm
  • Biome for linting and formatting
  • Astro Framework - pure html and css, no react

Google AI tools:

  • Antigravity - everything was build by Gemini in Antigravity. I did not write one line of code.

What I'm Most Proud Of

  • It's super fast, getting top ratings in Lighthouse
  • Works nicely on Mobile and Desktop
  • Auto-generated CV, that can be saved as PDF
  • Background animations of the Tiles
