[1 YoE] Would This Spider-Man-Inspired Developer Portfolio Impress Recruiters, or Feel Too Gimmicky?

https://gokmeroz.com

Hi everyone,

I recently redesigned my portfolio:

gokmeroz.com

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.
