Project Resources
What Was Built
An interactive, fully functional browser replication of the Windows 11 operating system environment. Features custom draggable and resizable windows, a fully simulated Start Menu, active system applications (e.g. VS Code, retro games, notepad, calculator), theme settings (dark/light), and custom desktop wallpapers.
Problem & Solution
Static portfolio structures can struggle to hold recruiter engagement. Creating an operating system environment inside the browser showcases deep mastery of state synchronization (utilizing Zustand), framer-motion UI transitions, absolute element coordinate tracking, and performance optimization for heavy canvas elements.
Key Features
- Responsive absolute window layout manager
- Simulated VS Code, terminal, and browser web components
- Zustand global desktop state store
- Elegant dark and light theme toggles
- Keyboard shortcuts and folder navigation support
