# portfolio.spec.ts
> A personal portfolio + resume styled as a **Playwright test runner**. Built by an SDET, for SDETs.
Click the green ▶ next to any test to "run" it — each passing test reveals a portfolio section. Filter by `@tag` chips like a real `--grep`. Includes a career-timeline trace viewer, a Source tab that renders the portfolio as actual-looking Playwright spec code, and a downloadable PDF resume.
**Live preview:** deploy locally (see below) or open `index.html` directly.
---
## Why this exists
A traditional portfolio doesn't tell a hiring manager you live in test runners all day. This one does — every interaction is a love letter to the tooling SDETs use:
- Sidebar **Test Explorer** with collapsible suite + green run arrows
- Pass / fail / skip status pill in the top bar with live counts
- Progress bars under each test that fill in real time
- VS Code dark+ / Playwright trace viewer palette (Inter + JetBrains Mono)
- A `Trace` tab that draws your career as a Gantt-style waterfall
- A `Source` tab that renders the portfolio as a real-looking `.spec.ts` file
- A `Console` tab that logs test run events live
- `--headed` toggle that slows animations down for demo mode
- Cookie-persisted dark / light theme toggle
- Mobile drawer for the test explorer, fully responsive

## Stack
Intentionally zero-framework. The whole point is craftsmanship: hand-rolled HTML, CSS variables, and vanilla JS. Easy to read, easy to fork, deploys anywhere static.
| Layer | Choice |
| ----------- | ----------------------------------------- |
| Markup | Single `index.html` |
| Styling | `css/base.css` (tokens) + `css/app.css` |
| Behavior | `js/data.js` (content) + `js/app.js` (UI) |
| Type | Inter (sans) + JetBrains Mono (mono) |
| Icons / Logo| Hand-written inline SVG |
| Build | None — open the file |
| Hosting | Any static host (S3, Netlify, GitHub Pages, your homelab) |

## Quick start
```bash
# clone / open in Cursor, then:
cd portfolio
python3 -m http.server 8765
open http://localhost:8765
```
That's it. No build step, no dependencies. Edit a file, refresh the page.
---
## Editing content
**All content lives in [`js/data.js`](js/data.js)** under `window.PORTFOLIO`. Change a title, swap a job, retag a skill — the UI updates automatically because every section is rendered from this single object.
```js
window.PORTFOLIO = {
person: { first: 'Ilia', last: 'Dobkin', /* ... */ },
// Master tag palette — drives the filter bar
tags: ['@playwright', '@cypress', '@api', '@ci', /* ... */],
// The test suite — each entry maps to one portfolio section
suite: {
name: 'Ilia Dobkin · portfolio',
tests: [
{
id: 'about',
title: 'should introduce Ilia Dobkin',
tags: ['@playwright', '@leadership'],
duration: 142,
steps: [
{ kind: 'info', title: 'navigate to /about', dur: 12 },
{ kind: 'ok', title: 'render bio', dur: 48 },
{ kind: 'ok', title: 'assert credentials', dur: 82 },
],
render: renderAbout, // function that returns the section HTML
},
// ...
],
},
experience: [ /* roles, in reverse-chronological order */ ],
skills: [ /* name, level (0100), tags */ ],
projects: [ /* name, desc, tags */ ],
stack: { Editors: [...], Languages: [...], /* ... */ },
metrics: [ /* label / value pairs for the KPI cards */ ],
};
```
### Add a new test (section)
1. Add an entry to `PORTFOLIO.suite.tests`.
2. Write a `render<Name>()` function further down in `data.js` that returns HTML.
3. Reference it as the `render` property. Done — it appears in the sidebar + report.
### Add a new tag
Append to `PORTFOLIO.tags`. To make it filter anything, also add it to the `tags: []` array on the relevant tests.
### Add an experience entry
Push to `PORTFOLIO.experience`. The Trace tab parses `when` (`"Aug 2023 Apr 2026"`) automatically and lays it out on the timeline.
---
## Customizing the look
All design tokens live in [`css/base.css`](css/base.css) as CSS variables, scoped to `:root[data-theme='dark']` and `:root[data-theme='light']`.
**Want a different accent?** Change `--accent` (default `#4ec9b0`, Playwright's signature teal).
**Different font?** Swap the `<link>` in `index.html` and `--font-sans` / `--font-mono` in `base.css`.
**Different statusbar color?** `--statusbar-bg` (default VS Code blue `#007acc`).
---
## Deploying
Any static host works because there's no build:
- **S3 / CloudFront** — upload the folder; entry point `index.html`.
- **GitHub Pages** — push to `gh-pages` branch, point to root.
- **Netlify / Vercel** — drag-and-drop the folder.
- **Your homelab (Caddy / nginx)** — just serve the directory.
- **Custom domain (e.g. `iliadobkin.com`)** — point an A/CNAME record at your host.
> Note: the theme toggle persists via a cookie, which works fine on any normal domain. If you embed in a sandboxed iframe that strips cookies, the theme will reset on reload but otherwise works.

## Architecture cheatsheet
**Render loop is simple and stateless per-test:**
```
state[testId] = { status: 'idle' | 'running' | 'passed', runtime: ms }
runTest(id)
├─ flip state to 'running'
├─ refreshTreeRow + refreshResultRow (update sidebar + main pane)
├─ animate progress bar via requestAnimationFrame
└─ on completion → state 'passed', renderBody() injects section HTML
```
**Where to look for things:**
| You want to change… | Open |
| -------------------------------- | --------------------------------- |
| What a test looks like inside | `data.js` — the matching `render*` fn |
| The order or set of tests | `data.js``PORTFOLIO.suite.tests` |
| The trace tab parsing | `app.js``renderTrace()` + `parseMon()` |
| The fake source code | `app.js``renderSource()` |
| Run-animation timing | `app.js``runTest()` / `tween()`|
| Theme colors | `base.css``:root[data-theme=*]`|
| Mobile breakpoints | `app.css``@media (max-width: 900px)` |

## Roadmap
See [IDEAS.md](IDEAS.md) for the backlog. Quick wins on top, ambitious experiments at the bottom.

MIT. Fork it, restyle it, replace the content with your own. If you ship a variation, a wave hello on LinkedIn would be appreciated but is not required.
