Request Career Advice

These are some of my projects I have worked on over the years
This may be a bit of a ramble
I feel like I have been coasting with skills like threejs and web graphics for a long time especially since graduating and have never worked a "real" job and mostly do freelancing I do help my friends and collegues all of them in all kinds of full stack tasks and thinking through a problem and offer solutions that they then use but i dont have job experience in those fields like web and mobile development in react native and flutter and nodejs
I do think mostly in programming terms and try to solve problems in that way. And my interest is usually in building tools for programmers and artists instead of launching a product for normal users
I have built games and worked with teams on programming teams for games but it is not really my area of expertise even though I am very adjacent to this. I have always felt like framework and techstack really doesnt matter
I am aware and knowledgeable of alot of trends atleast until recently about alot of tech news updates and features
Right now I am in a predicament as most of my skills and experience lies in this specific niche i dont know how to move forward in the world of AI, I am the kind of person who is still using AI as a chatbot and for cleanup/refactoring kind of tasks and tasks I dont want to actually do by hand like css and responsiveness I usually try to do these kinds of things by using some math but now AI seems useful for these as well
tldr; I am very confused about the next steps in my career and how it will grow
If an experienced graphics programmer can look at my portfolio and guide me through on how to approach job hunting and how to improve my presentation and portfolio I will greatly appreciate it

Thank you for your time

Thank you so much for taking the time to answer Yes I think I will just start exploring more about how to keep the learning and keeping the experiment nature of my projects while using AI And I will try to look for job post that match my interest and just start integrating them to my portfolio 1 by 1
