An interactive portfolio experience built as a Windows XP-inspired desktop. The goal of this project was to turn a personal site into something memorable, playful, and still functional enough to showcase real work.

Live site: vikasneriyanuru.com

• Desktop-style navigation with draggable icons
• Draggable and resizable windows for different sections
• Start menu and taskbar interactions inspired by Windows XP
• Live clock and desktop-style UI behavior
• Browser-style window for embedded exploration
• GitHub projects window connected to my public repositories

• Next.js 15
• React
• Tailwind CSS
• Radix UI

git clone https://github.com/VIKAS0804/vikas-portfolio.git
cd vikas-portfolio
npm install
npm run dev

Then open http://localhost:3000.

Most portfolios feel interchangeable. I wanted this one to reflect personality as much as technical skill, so I leaned into a nostalgic interface and treated the site like a miniature operating system instead of a standard landing page.

• Some external websites will not render inside the browser-style window because many sites block iframe embedding for security reasons.
• The project is intentionally styled around Windows XP, but the implementation uses a modern Next.js frontend stack.
