Czech developer Ondra built a bilingual portfolio using Astro 5, Payload 3, and Tailwind CSS to showcase his freelance work. The site, deployed on Google Cloud Run, emphasizes performance and SEO. This project is his submission for the New Year, New You Portfolio Challenge presented by Google AI.

Ondra leveraged Google AI tools extensively during development. He used Antigravity for animations and AI Studio for localization and SEO optimization. Gemini helped resolve deployment issues, shifting from static to server output. The stack prioritizes clean code and maintainability, reflecting his professional approach to modern web development.

The portfolio features a complete i18n system supporting English and Czech, enhancing accessibility for local and international clients. Ondra achieved excellent Lighthouse scores through Astro's image optimization. This build demonstrates practical integration of AI assistants with contemporary frameworks for efficient, high-quality web projects.
