Ripperdoc Portfolio


Foreword

I have always thought personal portfolios were extremely cool project, but with the extended release of AI Slop and UI design, I sought to stay away from making one until recently. I drafted a whole LinkedIn post on my Sentinel Vision Platform (Check it out!) project until I realized I went far past the character limit. Instead of the wise decision to simply make my post more concise, I decided that it was finally time for a portfolio.


Inspiration

I understand that most people won't understand the vision behind the site, so I will break it down. I am a huge Cyberpunk fan, I love the genre and I love the game: Cyberpunk 2077. I have way too many hours running through the streets of night city and I am fascinated by the tech and possible future presented in the game.

One of my favorite parts of the game, and as a topic in general, is cyberware and cybernetics. Machines and hardware that enhance the human body. In media, this enhancement tends to turn into an obsession and there are many groups of people that fall under its influence, becoming more machine than man. Within Cyberpunk 2077, there is a load out screen where you can swap around your cyberware. I wanted to emulate this with my portfolio.

Although my port of the menu isn't the most faithful, it, along with my experience in the game, highly influenced my portfolio choices.
