Dev builds AI clone for portfolio: chats your skills, generates Ghibli coffee shops for Java talk, because resumes are so 2023

Mátyás Steiner, a Senior Full Stack Developer and Lecturer with over 15 years of experience, has created a digital portfolio for the New Year, New You Portfolio Challenge presented by Google AI. His submission features an AI-powered clone that utilizes the Google GenAI SDK to handle conversations, allowing users to ask about his skills and experience. The portfolio's frontend is built with React and styled with Tailwind CSS, while the backend runs on Node.js with Hono. Steiner has also integrated Cloudflare Turnstile for bot protection and deployed the project on Google Cloud Run. The portfolio's unique feature is its ability to generate Studio Ghibli-style watercolor backgrounds in real-time based on the conversation context. Steiner's project showcases his passion for modern web tech, security, and creativity, demonstrating the potential of AI-powered portfolios to bridge the gap between static resumes and real conversations.
