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

About Me

Hi, I’m Danny, a frontend engineer who enjoys building products that sit at the intersection of clean UI, solid engineering, and real-world impact.

This portfolio is my attempt to reflect how I think and work today: pragmatic, curious, and focused on building things that actually ship. Rather than treating a portfolio as a static résumé, I wanted it to feel like a living system that shows how I approach problems, make decisions, and grow over time.

About Me

Hi, I’m Danny, a frontend engineer who enjoys building products that sit at the intersection of clean UI, solid engineering, and real-world impact.

This portfolio is my attempt to reflect how I think and work today: pragmatic, curious, and focused on building things that actually ship. Rather than treating a portfolio as a static résumé, I wanted it to feel like a living system that shows how I approach problems, make decisions, and grow over time.

Embedded live using Google Cloud Run:

The site acts as a central hub for my work, experiments, and ongoing projects. It’s designed to be lightweight, fast, and readable — optimized for humans first, recruiters included.

How I Built It

The portfolio is built with a modern web stack focused on performance and maintainability. I emphasized component reusability, clear information hierarchy, and responsive design across devices.

For this challenge, I explored Google AI–powered ideas conceptually. Especially around how AI can assist storytelling, summarize technical work, and help translate raw experience (projects, commits, articles) into clearer narratives. The long-term direction is to evolve the portfolio into something more interactive and adaptive, rather than a static page.

What I’m Most Proud Of

What I’m most proud of is the clarity of intent. Every section exists for a reason to explain why I built something, not just what I built.

This portfolio represents a reset for the new year: a cleaner signal, fewer buzzwords, and a stronger focus on craftsmanship, learning, and honest progress.

Thanks for checking it out, and thanks to the DEV and Google AI teams for running this challenge.
