Nicholas Borrello — AI Engineer Portfolio

A scrollable engineering portfolio with a restrained NieR: Automata field-UI identity — beige/charcoal palette, Rajdhani HUD lettering, fine grid texture, hairline frames. The engineering work is the main character; the game-menu interaction model was retired in the 2026 redesign (issue #2).

Stack

• React 19 + TypeScript + Vite (bundled — no CDN runtime dependencies)

Content

All portfolio content lives in data.ts (projects, experience, education, capabilities with proof traces, contacts). Every metric and capability chip traces to a real claim there. Visuals: live Resumancer captures in public/work/, authored architecture diagrams in components/diagrams/.

Before deploying

• A generated public/resume.pdf (built strictly from data.ts facts) ships so every Resume CTA resolves — replace it with your official resume before applying to jobs.
• The social preview card is public/og-card.png (1200×630); regenerate from /tmp/og-card.html if the hero copy changes.
