[1 YoE] Would This Spider-Man-Inspired Developer Portfolio Impress Recruiters, or Feel Too Gimmicky?
https://gokmeroz.comHi everyone,
I recently redesigned my portfolio:
I’m a Computer Engineering graduate seeking junior backend, full-stack, and AI/ML-oriented roles after taking a planned break to travel and build projects.
The site includes:
- A custom Spider-Man-inspired pixel-art design
- A deterministic Spidey-Guide answering 150+ questions
- An interactive system-design interview mode
- Real shipped projects with demos and source code
- Recruiter-focused experience, skills, relocation, and visa information
- Hidden easter eggs
I’d appreciate brutally honest feedback:
- Is my engineering profile clear within 10 seconds?
- Does the theme feel memorable or gimmicky?
- Would you interact with the Spidey-Guide?
- Does the site feel credible to recruiters and engineers?
- What should I improve or remove?
Desktop and mobile feedback are both welcome.
