Flutter Web Dev Spends 200 Hours Making Portfolio Feel Like

Robert Ishoka, a mobile developer with 4 years of experience, has created a unique portfolio called "The Other Side" as part of the New Year, New You Portfolio Challenge presented by Google AI. Inspired by the TV show Stranger Things, Ishoka aimed to build a portfolio that felt like a place, not just a website, with a focus on smooth interactions and user experiences. Using Flutter Web, flutter_riverpod, and Google Cloud Run, he crafted a space that shifts and transforms depending on user interaction, featuring unexpected color changes, motion physics, and hidden Easter eggs. With the help of Antigravity, Google's advanced AI, Ishoka overcame technical challenges, including optimizing scrolling physics and render timing. The portfolio showcases Ishoka's approach to coding as a medium for creating experiences, rather than just syntax or functionality, and demonstrates his skills in world-building with code, making it a significant project in the web development industry.
