Vinay Gandhi — Portfolio & Engineering Hub

Live site: https://vgandhi1.github.io/

Personal portfolio for applied AI, manufacturing software, and EV platforms — GitHub repos as evidence, illustrated theory/programming guides hosted here, and a separate interactive lab for decks, EV references, and browser tools.

Site	Repository	URL
Portfolio — minimal landing	vgandhi1/vgandhi1.github.io	https://vgandhi1.github.io/
Portfolio — full catalog	(same repo)	https://vgandhi1.github.io/index-full.html
Interactive lab	vgandhi1/interactive-lab	https://vgandhi1.github.io/interactive-lab/

What’s on the site

Two custom static landing pages:

• index.html — minimal landing (portfolio_min.css), leading with applied AI + data work.
• index-full.html — full project catalog (portfolio_home.css): every repo grouped by pillar with filter tabs. Linked from the index.html footer (“Full catalog”).

index.html sections:

Section	Anchor	Content
About	#about	Background, skills, and current focus
Projects	#projects	GitHub work grouped by engineering pillar (Data, AI, Software, Product) with filter tabs
Learn	#learn	Links to theory notes and programming tracks on this domain
Interactive lab	—	External hub for decks, EV docs, and simulators
Project execution guide	project_execution.html	Visual roadmap — build order and three-pillar entry paths
Factory AI Platform	factory-ai.html	Flagship factory-platform deep-dive
MVP demos	mvp.html	Live product walkthroughs

Project pillars on the landing page: Data Engineering (OMNI-Mesh, telemetry, ELT), AI Engineering (factory AI, agentic/RAG, CV/ML, robotics), Software Systems (streaming backends, EV/OTA, web apps), and Product Management (APEX-recover, TeleOp). Use the filter tabs on #projects or the roadmap pillars section for role-aligned entry paths.

Theory hub (theory/)

Static, self-contained pages with inline SVG diagrams:

• Data engineering
• Classical ML
• Deep learning
• Applied AI engineering
• RAG vs fine-tuning
• MLOps
• LLMOps
• DevOps

Entry: theory/ml_theory_hub.html

Programming tracks (programming/)

• Python 101 — hub plus Data & ML, PyTorch, FastAPI
• Go 101 — backend systems (programming/Go_101_Backend_Systems.html)
• SQL interview prep — factory analytics (programming/SQL_Interview_Prep_FactoryAnalytics.html)

Interactive lab (separate repo)

Decks, EV references, homelab portal, and browser tools (DSA, AI glossaries, hedging simulator, Git 101, etc.) live in interactive-lab — not duplicated here.

• Hub: vgandhi1.github.io/interactive-lab/
• Case studies: #case-studies
• Tools: #tools

Tech stack

Layer	Choice
Portfolio UI	Static HTML + CSS (portfolio_min.css for index.html, portfolio_home.css for index-full.html)
Theory / programming	Static HTML + shared CSS, JetBrains Mono + Source Sans 3
Hosting	GitHub Pages
Optional build	Jekyll (_config.yml, remote_theme: jekyll/minima) for Pages compatibility; primary entry remains index.html

---

Local preview

Quick static server (recommended for index.html, theory, and programming pages):

cd vgandhi1.github.io-main   # or your clone path
python3 -m http.server 8000

Open http://localhost:8000/.

Optional — Jekyll (if you change _config.yml or add Jekyll posts):

bundle install
bundle exec jekyll serve

---

Deploying to GitHub Pages

1. Push to the default branch of the vgandhi1.github.io user/organization Pages repo.
2. In Settings → Pages, set source to that branch (root /).
3. Custom domain (optional): vgandhi1.github.io is the default user site URL.

The interactive lab is deployed from its own repo as a project site at /interactive-lab/.
