from planning gym on fire red to building a pokemon card portfolio lol

Where We At Now

this was originally started in macondo now in stardance for age related issues ( yes i am old 🥀)

and now some version of it is working ig

The Front Face

recreated the fire red gba trainer card layout. looks super clean.

gba trainer card header flanked by white pokeballs
stats capsules: name (hariharan), money (role: ai & web dev), pokedex (projects: 24/150), time (exp: 1+ year), started date (oct 2024)
trainer sprite: custom mascot sprite in a rounded box
badges row: slot 1 holds a custom pixel-art yc logo badge, other slots are empty placeholders

Interactive Card Mechanics

3d tilt: card rotates on hover tracking mouse coordinates
zoom controls: plus/minus snap scale buttons with spring physics
float animation: slow sine-wave bobbing that pauses on hover so buttons are stable targets

The Back Face

flips over to show a custom data file.

4 slanting columns: projects, experience, honors, skills
columns expand on hover and show custom retro backgrounds
dynamic details block at the bottom updates based on hovered column
buttons to enter the main portfolio

The Wild Transition & Main Page

white flash transition: entering the portfolio flashes screen white like a wild pokemon fight entry
minimal portfolio: dark theme, hero, about, experience, projects, skills, honors
reverse easter egg: back to trainer card button in footer triggers reverse flash transition
deep links: coming from a card back tab scrolls smoothly straight to that section on layout mount
and the minimal main portfolio:

few things which still needs to be done includes:

proper sprites for my character , icons , wallpapers, etc
proper minimal version of my website with proper routing sectiosn and a file based storage on sqlite or something like that ( mainly to save blogs and shi )
autmoated script fetching from my github projects and linkedin posts

ANDDD MOST IMPORTANTLY : NEED TO BUILD MYSELF AN PERSONAL AI ASSISTANT in front page whihc has access to my knowledge vault and answers all questions about me directly as a portfolio sub assistant

the sprites are work in progress soon to come
