      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;This is a submission for the &lt;a href="https://dev.to/challenges/new-year-new-you-google-ai-2025-12-31"&gt;New Year, New You Portfolio Challenge Presented by Google AI&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  About Me
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I'm Kavita Jadhav, a Full Stack &amp;amp; AI Developer with 12+ years of experience in building scalable, intelligent platforms. My portfolio showcases my passion for quality-first engineering, modern web development, and practical AI integration. I aim to express my technical versatility and commitment to impactful solutions.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  Portfolio
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;

&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div class="ltag__cloud-run"&gt;
  &lt;iframe height="600px" src="https://kj-portfolio-ai-developer-and-test-automation-arc-473606241068.us-west1.run.app/"&gt;
  &lt;/iframe&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;




&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  How I Built It
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Tech Stack:&lt;/strong&gt; Vite + React + TypeScript, Tailwind CSS, Node.js&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;AI Integration:&lt;/strong&gt; Google Gemini API via secure backend proxy&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Deployment:&lt;/strong&gt; Google Cloud Run (containerized with Docker, automated via cloudbuild.yaml)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Design:&lt;/strong&gt; Modular components, responsive UI, and theme support&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Process:&lt;/strong&gt; Iterative development, leveraging GitHub Actions for CI/CD and Vercel for preview deployments&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  What I'm Most Proud Of
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Seamless integration of Google Gemini AI for real-time chat&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Secure handling of API keys using backend proxy&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Clean, modern UI with personal branding&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Automated deployment pipeline to Cloud Run&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Strong type safety and maintainable code structure&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
