Developer UribeJr98 built a Windows 98-inspired portfolio using modern tools like React, Vite, and Google Cloud Run. The interactive site mimics classic OS behavior with draggable windows, a taskbar, and mini-apps like Pong and a media player.

The project combines nostalgic design with current tech stacks. Instead of static pages, each section functions as an independent React component. A central window manager handles z-index, focus, and state—mirroring desktop UI patterns from the late 90s.

Deployed on Google Cloud Run, the app uses Node.js and Express for production serving. It showcases scalable cloud-native architecture while maintaining retro styling through 98.css and custom CSS. This approach bridges formative digital experiences with modern development practices.

The result is more than a portfolio—it's a personal time capsule. Each element reflects early influences like MySpace and Windows 98, demonstrating how expressive interfaces can coexist with robust engineering in today’s cloud era.
