Someone might say:

"Can we loop in the finance team here?"

But never actually tag the finance channel.

That’s where problems begin.

🧠 The Problem

In a growing Slack workspace:

• Conversations happen across multiple channels

• Teams reference other teams without tagging them

• Critical finance-related discussions can go unnoticed

This creates:

• Missed dependencies

• Delayed responses

• Lack of governance visibility

I wanted to build a proactive system instead of relying on manual tracking.

💡 The Solution

I built an Automated Governance & Finance Mention Bot.

What it does:

• Monitors messages across the entire Slack workspace

• Detects indirect mentions of finance-related channels

• Extracts context from the message

• Cross-posts relevant insights to a governance channel

👉 Result: No important finance conversation goes unnoticed.

🏗 System Architecture

Core Stack

• TypeScript + Node.js

• Slack Bolt SDK

• Slack Web API

• Render (PaaS)

• GitHub (CI/CD)

⚙️ How It Works

1. Event-Driven Processing

The bot listens to Slack events in real time:

• message events

• channel_created events

Using Slack’s Socket Mode, it processes messages asynchronously.

2. Context Extraction (The Core Logic)

Slack messages are not plain text.

Channel mentions look like this:

<#C123456789>

So I implemented:

• Regex-based parsing

• Mapping of channel IDs → actual meaning

• Detection of indirect references

This allows the bot to understand intent, not just keywords.

3. Auto-Join Mechanism (Zero Config)

Instead of manually adding the bot to channels:

• It fetches all public channels via Slack API

• Automatically joins them

• Listens to new channels as they are created

👉 This makes the system self-scaling with zero manual setup

4. Governance Routing

When a relevant mention is detected:

• Extract message context

• Identify related channels

• Send structured alert to governance channel

🚧 The Real Challenge (Render Constraint)

Here’s where it got interesting.

Problem:

• Slack Socket Mode does NOT require an HTTP server

• But Render requires a service to listen on a port

Solution:

I built a sidecar HTTP health-check server inside the same app.

import express from "express";

const app = express();

app.get("/", (req, res) => {
  res.send("Bot is running");
});

app.listen(process.env.PORT || 3000);

👉 This allowed:

• Render to keep the service alive

• Slack bot to run independently via Socket Mode

This was a small but critical DevOps workaround

🔐 Security & Permissions

Handled Slack API scopes carefully:

• channels:join

• channels:history

• chat:write

Ensured:

• No user impersonation

• Controlled access to sensitive discussions

⚙️ Deployment & DevOps

• Environment management using .env

• CI/CD via GitHub → Render

• Free-tier uptime optimization

📊 Impact

• Monitors 100% of public Slack channels

• Eliminates missed finance dependencies

• Reduces manual oversight effort

• Creates a central governance visibility layer

💡 Key Learnings

1. Event-Driven Systems Are Powerful

Handling real-time streams changes how systems react and scale.

2. Context > Keywords

Understanding structured data inside messages is far more powerful than simple keyword matching.

3. Constraints Drive Innovation

The Render workaround forced a creative solution that improved system robustness.

4. Automation Should Be Invisible

The best systems:

• Require zero configuration

• Adapt automatically

• Work silently in the background

🚀 What’s Next

This is just the beginning.

Future improvements:

• AI-based semantic detection (not just regex)

• Multi-channel governance workflows

• Ticket creation + task assignment (Asana / Jira integration)

• Slack → Calendar → OKR linking

🧠 Final Thought

This project is not just a bot.

It’s a step toward building autonomous operational systems that reduce human friction and increase organizational clarity.

In this post, I'll walk you through how I built my new high-performance portfolio using React 19, Vite, Tailwind CSS 4, and the incredible Google Gemini 2.5 Flash model.

The Vision: More Than Just a Website

My goal was to create a site that was not only fast and accessible but also highly interactive. I wanted an AI assistant that could:

1. Answer questions about my experience and skills.
2. Control the UI (e.g., scroll to specific sections, filter projects, or toggle themes).
3. Act as an intelligent lead-capture tool.

The Tech Stack

I chose a stack optimized for speed and developer experience:

• Frontend Framework: React 19 & Vite
• Styling: Tailwind CSS 4 with custom CSS and glassmorphism design.
• AI Integration: Google Gemini 2.5 Flash (via API) & react-markdown for formatting.
• Visualizations: Recharts & custom SVGs for interactive skill radars.
• Deployment: Netlify (Functions + CDN) to securely handle API keys.

Integrating Google Gemini for Function Calling

The standout feature of this portfolio is the AI Chatbot. Instead of just returning text, the chatbot utilizes Function Calling.

When a user asks, "Show me your web development projects", or "Switch to dark mode", Gemini processes the intent. Using predefined tools, it returns a structured JSON response to call a specific frontend function.

Here is a simplified look at how I implemented this:

// Defining the tool schema for Gemini
const tools = [
  {
    name: "filterProjects",
    description: "Filters the project gallery based on the user's request.",
    parameters: {
      type: "object",
      properties: {
        category: { type: "string" }
      }
    }
  },
  {
    name: "scrollToSection",
    description: "Scrolls the page to a specific section like 'Experience' or 'Contact'."
  }
];

When the frontend receives this tool invocation, it triggers the necessary React state changes to filter the project gallery smoothly.

Dynamic UI and Animations

A chatbot is cool, but the aesthetics matter. I incorporated:

• Time-based ambient backgrounds that subtly shift colors.
• Glassmorphism design featuring backdrop blurs to keep text readable over dynamic elements.
• Scroll Spy Navigation and staggered animations using intersection observers.

All of this was achieved while maintaining WCAG 2.1 AA compliance. Accessibility shouldn't be an afterthought, even heavily customized UIs need screen-reader optimizations and keyboard navigation support.

Content Management Architecture

One of the best developer decisions I made was centralizing all the content into a single constants.ts file:

export const PROJECTS = [...];
export const EXPERIENCE = [...];
export const SKILL_CATEGORIES = [...];

Instead of hunting down specific components to update my resume or add a new project, I simply modify the data object. The entire UI trickles down from these constants, making the portfolio incredibly maintainable.

What's Next?

The portfolio is live, but software is never really "finished." My roadmap includes:

• Migrating the server-side chatbot logic to n8n for more complex workflow automation.
• Enhancing lead capture directly into Google Sheets using Apps Script (already underway!).
• Expanding end-to-end testing with Playwright.

Building this was a fantastic journey merging modern frontend performance with cutting-edge AI integrations. If you're looking to stand out, I highly recommend finding creative ways to weave LLMs into your personal projects.

Feel free to explore the code on my GitHub or chat with the AI on my live portfolio at someshbhardwaj.me!

A portfolio that can answer questions, control the page, and capture leads—without exposing your API key—is within reach with a single LLM and a serverless function.

This post walks through how to add an AI chatbot with tool calling to your portfolio: we’ll use Google Gemini for the model, Netlify Functions to keep the API key server-side, and React on the front end. By the end, you’ll have a chatbot that can scroll to sections, toggle theme, filter projects, and collect leads via a webhook.

Why Add an AI Chatbot to Your Portfolio?

A static “Contact” form is fine. An AI agent that knows your skills, projects, and case studies is better.

Benefits:

• Differentiation — Few portfolios offer a conversational, context-aware assistant.
• Engagement — Visitors can ask “What’s his experience with n8n?” or “Show automation work” and get direct answers.
• Lead capture — When someone says “I want to hire you,” the agent can collect name, email, budget, and timeline in a natural flow and send them to your CRM or sheet.
• Learning — You get hands-on practice with LLM APIs, function calling, and serverless security.

The catch: you must keep your API key off the client and give the model tools so it can act (scroll, toggle theme, save lead) instead of only replying with text.

Architecture at a Glance

The setup has three parts:

1. React app — Chat UI, message state, and tool execution (theme, scroll, filter, lead).
2. Netlify serverless function — Receives chat requests (message + history + tools), calls Gemini with your API key, streams the response back.
3. Gemini API — Model + system instruction + tool declarations; returns text and/or function calls.

Flow:

User types → Frontend sends message (and optional history) to /.netlify/functions/chat → Function calls Gemini with GEMINI_API_KEY from env → Stream of text and tool calls returns to Frontend → Frontend renders text and runs tools (e.g. scrollToSection('projects')).

Your API key never leaves Netlify’s server.

Step 1: Keep the API Key Server-Side

Never put GEMINI_API_KEY in client-side code or in a public repo.

Option A – Chat runs entirely in the serverless function (recommended)
The frontend only calls POST /.netlify/functions/chat with { message, history, systemInstruction, tools }. The function creates the Gemini chat, sends the message, and returns the stream. The key stays in process.env.GEMINI_API_KEY on Netlify.

Option B – Key delivery for client-side chat
If you want the chat session to live in the browser (e.g. using @google/genai in React), you need a separate endpoint that returns a temporary key or proxy. A simple approach is a small function that reads GEMINI_API_KEY and returns it only to your origin; you can lock this down by checking Origin or a secret header. Even then, prefer doing the heavy lifting (Gemini calls) in the serverless function so the key is used only on the server.

In the reference project, the frontend fetches the key from /.netlify/functions/env and then creates the chat in the client. For maximum security, moving the chat into the Netlify function (Option A) is the cleanest: the client only sends messages and receives streamed responses.

Step 2: Define Tools (Function Declarations)

Gemini supports function calling: you declare tools with names, descriptions, and parameters; the model can return a tool call instead of (or in addition to) text. Your frontend then runs the corresponding logic.

Example tools for a portfolio:

In code, each tool is a function declaration with a name, description, and a JSON schema for parameters. For example, in TypeScript with @google/genai:

const scrollToSectionTool = {
  name: "scrollToSection",
  description: "Scrolls the page to a specific section.",
  parameters: {
    type: Type.OBJECT,
    properties: {
      sectionId: {
        type: Type.STRING,
        description: "Section ID: 'home' | 'skills' | 'projects' | 'experience' | 'contact'"
      }
    },
    required: ["sectionId"]
  }
};

You pass an array of these into the chat config as tools: [{ functionDeclarations: [scrollToSectionTool, toggleThemeTool, filterProjectsTool, saveLeadTool] }]. The model will use them when it decides the user wants to navigate, change theme, filter, or submit a lead.

Step 3: System Instruction: Context and Behavior

The system instruction is where you teach the bot who you are and how to behave.

Include:

• Role — e.g. “You are [Name]’s portfolio assistant.”
• Context — Concise summaries of skills, experience, projects, and case studies (or links to them).
• Capabilities — “You can scroll to sections, toggle theme, filter projects, and save leads.”
• Lead capture rules — When the user shows intent (e.g. “I want to hire you,” “Get in touch”), collect name, email, interest, budget, and timeline one by one; only call saveLead when all five are present.
• Tone — e.g. friendly, professional, concise.

Keep the instruction within token limits. You can build it dynamically from your existing data (e.g. map over SKILL_CATEGORIES, PROJECTS, CASE_STUDIES) so one source of truth drives both the site and the bot.

Step 4: Handle Streaming and Tool Calls in the Frontend

When you call chat.sendMessageStream({ message }), you get an async iterator. Each chunk can contain:

• Text — append to the current assistant message.
• Function calls — e.g. { name: "scrollToSection", args: { sectionId: "projects" } }.

Pseudocode:

for await (const chunk of result) {
  if (chunk.text) appendToMessage(chunk.text);
  if (chunk.functionCalls?.length) {
    for (const call of chunk.functionCalls) {
      if (call.name === 'scrollToSection') scrollToSection(call.args.sectionId);
      if (call.name === 'toggleTheme') toggleTheme();
      if (call.name === 'filterProjects') setProjectFilter(call.args.category);
      if (call.name === 'saveLead') await sendToWebhook(call.args);
    }
  }
}

You can show a short “Done!” message for UI actions (theme, scroll, filter) and a confirmation for lead capture. If you use streaming, render text as it arrives and run tools as soon as a full call is available.

Step 5: Lead Capture via Webhook

The saveLead tool should send data to your backend, not hardcode anything in the client. A simple pattern:

• Webhook URL — Stored in env (e.g. VITE_WEBHOOK_URL) or returned from a small serverless function.
• Payload — Name, email, interest, budget, timeline, and optionally a short conversation summary.
• Receiver — Google Apps Script (Google Sheets), n8n, Make, or any HTTP endpoint that appends a row or creates a CRM contact.

Your frontend (or a small Netlify function) does fetch(WEBHOOK_URL, { method: 'POST', body: JSON.stringify(lead) }). That keeps the chatbot decoupled from your CRM and lets you switch providers without changing the bot logic.

Step 6: Netlify Function for Chat

A minimal Netlify function that proxies to Gemini could look like this:

• Method — POST only.
• Body — { message, history?, systemInstruction?, tools? }.
• Env — GEMINI_API_KEY set in Netlify dashboard.
• Logic — Instantiate Gemini with the key, create a chat with the given system instruction and tools, send the message (and history if provided), then stream the response back (or collect chunks and return once).

If the frontend creates the chat in the client, you can still use a function to send a single message and return the stream so the key stays server-side; the only difference is where the “session” (history) is stored (client vs server).

Takeaways

• API key — Never in the client. Use a serverless function (e.g. Netlify) to call Gemini.
• Tools — Define clear function declarations (name, description, parameters) so the model can scroll, toggle theme, filter, and save leads.
• System instruction — One place for role, context (skills/projects/case studies), and lead-capture rules.
• Streaming — Handle both text chunks and function calls in the same loop; execute tools and optionally show short confirmations.
• Leads — Send to a webhook (Sheets, n8n, Make) so you can change the backend without touching the chatbot.

Building this flow gives you a portfolio that feels alive, captures intent cleanly, and teaches you how to combine an LLM with real-world actions—all with a small, maintainable stack (React, Gemini, Netlify).

Author Note

This article is based on a production portfolio that uses React, TypeScript, Vite, Google Gemini, and Netlify. The same pattern (serverless + tool calling + webhook) applies to other LLMs and hosting providers.

Many software projects start with a simple idea.

In this case, the goal was straightforward: build a tool to manage online events, registrations, and reminders.

But as real users began interacting with the platform and integrations were introduced, the architecture evolved significantly.

What started as a basic event workflow gradually became a system responsible for orchestrating multiple external services, automation processes, and operational workflows.

This article shares architectural lessons from building that system and how a simple tool evolved into an integration-driven SaaS platform.

The Initial Concept

At the beginning, the system architecture was simple and easy to reason about.

Users could browse events, register, and receive confirmation emails.

The architecture looked something like this:

Participants

↓

Frontend Web Application

↓

Backend Application

↓

Database

↓

Email Service + Video Meeting Platform

Before Architecture

At this stage the platform handled:

• Event registration • Confirmation emails • Basic event management

The system was small, easy to maintain, and the architecture was straightforward.

But as the product grew, new requirements started appearing.

When Complexity Appears

As the platform began supporting more use cases, the architecture needed to evolve.

New requirements included:

• Multi-session events • Global users across multiple time zones • Automated reminders • Analytics and reporting • Integration with external services • Operational monitoring

Each new capability introduced additional complexity.

What started as a simple application gradually transformed into a coordination platform between multiple systems.

The Production Architecture

In production, the system evolved into a layered architecture designed to handle integrations, automation, and operational workflows reliably.

Full Platform Architecture

The architecture can be understood through several layers.

Users

The platform serves multiple types of users:

• Participants attending events • Event Leads / Admins managing events • Operations teams monitoring and maintaining the system

Each interacts with the system through the web application.

Application Layer

The frontend web application provides the user interface.

This layer handles:

• Event browsing • Registration forms • Admin dashboards • Event management tools • Analytics views

It communicates with the platform through secure APIs.

Core Platform (Orchestration Layer)

This is the heart of the system.

Instead of rebuilding every capability internally, the platform focuses on orchestrating workflows between different services.

Core responsibilities include:

• Event orchestration • Registration management • Reminder scheduling • Integration coordination • Administrative workflows • System observability

Key internal components include:

• Event Management Engine • Registration Engine • Reminder Scheduler • Integration Manager • Observability Layer

Data Layer

The database stores operational data such as:

• Events • Sessions • Registrations • Attendance records • Reminder logs • System logs • Audit trails

The data layer also supports:

• Idempotency controls • Operational dashboards • Debugging production incidents

External Integrations

Rather than rebuilding specialized capabilities, the platform integrates with external services such as:

• Video meeting platforms • Email delivery infrastructure • Marketing automation tools • AI services • Analytics platforms • Calendar ecosystems

These integrations are handled through translation layers so external APIs never dictate the internal system architecture.

Automation Layer

Background automation ensures the system operates reliably.

These processes include:

• Scheduled reminder processing • Attendance synchronization • Data synchronization with external systems • Operational automation tasks

Automation runs periodically and evaluates system state rather than relying solely on delayed job queues.

Architectural Decisions That Made the System Reliable

During development, a few architectural decisions significantly improved system reliability and usability.

Architectural Blueprint

Frictionless Access Architecture

Participants do not need user accounts to attend events.

Instead, registrations are mapped to secure identifiers.

Advantages include:

• Reduced onboarding friction • Faster user adoption • Simpler user experience

The tradeoff is that the backend must manage identity mapping and access control carefully.

Polling Schedulers Instead of Delayed Job Queues

Rather than scheduling thousands of delayed tasks, the system periodically evaluates what actions need to run.

Benefits include:

• Higher reliability • Simpler debugging • Reduced operational complexity

Although this approach sacrifices some scheduling precision, it significantly improves system resilience.

API Boundary Translation

External APIs should never dictate internal architecture.

Instead, the platform maintains its own internal data model and translates it when interacting with external services.

Advantages include:

• Reduced coupling with third-party systems • Easier provider changes • Cleaner domain logic

Observability-First Design

Operational visibility was built directly into the system.

Structured logs capture events such as:

• Email delivery attempts • Reminder processing • External API failures • Administrative actions

This makes debugging production issues significantly easier.

Instead of searching through logs, many operational questions can be answered through simple database queries.

Lessons Learned

Building this platform revealed several important lessons about designing modern SaaS systems.

• Simplicity often improves reliability • Integration design matters more than individual features • Observability should be built early in the architecture • External APIs introduce unpredictability that must be handled carefully • Removing friction for users often shifts complexity into backend workflows

Perhaps the most important insight was realizing that many modern SaaS platforms are less about building everything internally and more about orchestrating specialized services reliably.

Final Reflection

What started as a simple event registration tool eventually evolved into a system coordinating multiple services, workflows, and automation layers.

The experience reinforced a key principle of software architecture:

Good systems are not defined by their complexity, but by their ability to remain understandable and resilient as they grow.

Modern SaaS engineering is often less about writing code and more about designing reliable workflows between people, systems, and services.

Managing a small team on Google Workspace can be rewarding — but also challenging if you’re not familiar with all the admin tools at your disposal. Over time, I’ve picked up a few tips that have made a huge difference in managing users, maintaining security, and streamlining collaboration.

Here are some essential Google Workspace admin tips that every small team should know.

1. Set Up Organizational Units (OUs) Early

Organizational Units help you group users based on departments, seniority, or project needs. Even for small teams, having OUs allows you to apply different settings, permissions, and policies easily.

Example: Keep the Sales team and the Tech team under separate OUs to manage app access or email restrictions separately.

2. Enforce 2-Step Verification (2SV)

Security should always be a priority. Enable 2-Step Verification for all users to add an extra layer of protection to accounts.

Admin Console: Security > Authentication > 2-Step Verification > Enforce

3. Use Groups for Easier Communication

Instead of emailing multiple people individually, create Groups (like team@yourdomain.com) for project teams or departments. It makes collaboration seamless and easier to manage access permissions to Docs, Sheets, and Drives.

4. Monitor Activity with Audit Logs

Google Workspace provides extensive audit logs — use them to monitor account activity, file sharing, and login attempts. This can help spot unusual behavior early.

Admin Console: Reports > Audit log

5. Manage Licenses Smartly

Small teams often scale quickly. Periodically audit your licenses to ensure you’re not paying for inactive accounts. Suspend users who leave the organization instead of deleting immediately — you can transfer data safely later.

6. Implement Shared Drives

Instead of users saving files in personal Drives, create Shared Drives for team projects. This ensures data remains accessible even if someone leaves the organization.

Shared Drives make it easier to set permission levels and keep file ownership with the organization.

7. Automate Onboarding with Google Workspace APIs

For growing teams, consider automating user creation and group assignment using Google’s Admin SDK APIs or low-code tools like n8n.

It saves time and reduces the chance of manual errors.

Final Thoughts

Google Workspace is incredibly powerful, but only if you leverage its full potential. Setting up best practices early ensures your small team stays secure, organized, and productive as you scale.

If you're just starting or looking to optimize your Google Workspace setup, these tips will give you a head start.

I often share my automation experiments and tutorials — follow along for more hands-on guides!

From system administration to building client-facing websites, automation now touches every part of my day. Here’s how AI transformed my workflow — and why I believe it’s the future for anyone serious about scaling their productivity.

The Starting Point: Manual Overload

A few years ago, my daily tasks were a maze of repetitive actions — managing Google Workspace accounts, onboarding new users, updating websites, analyzing campaign metrics manually. While necessary, these tasks drained time from creative and strategic work.

That's when I realized: manual work doesn't scale.

Enter AI-Powered Automation

Leveraging AI tools like Make.com, n8n, OpenAI, and no-code platforms, I began building smart workflows:

• Automating onboarding and offboarding in Google Workspace.

• Scraping and organizing lead data into CRM systems.

• Setting up chatbots that handle common queries.

• Running scheduled reports and analytics using AI summarization.

• Creating dynamic website content pipelines with AI writers and auto-publishers.

Every small automation led to compounding gains — more free time, fewer mistakes, faster delivery.

Real-World Wins

• Saved 10+ hours/week by automating client onboarding.

• Improved response time by integrating AI-based chat assistants.

• Reduced manual errors in campaign analytics by syncing data through automated workflows.

What started as minor automations evolved into a robust personal system — AI agents handling routine tasks while I focus on what really matters: strategy, creativity, and innovation.

Lessons Learned

• Start small: Automate one task at a time.

• Focus on bottlenecks: Identify where manual effort creates delays.

• Embrace iteration: Automation is not “set and forget”; it evolves with your work.

Most importantly, automation isn’t just about saving time — it’s about amplifying your capabilities.

Why It Matters Now More Than Ever

In a world where the pace of change is relentless, those who master automation aren’t just more productive — they’re more adaptable. AI isn’t here to replace us. It’s here to empower us.

If you haven’t yet explored AI-driven automation, now is the time to start. It might just transform your workflow — and your career — like it did mine.
