built this little demo to showcase the difference between: - how your screen displays colors (additive color mixing) - how a printer mixes pigments (subtractive color mixing)

spent the better part of the week building little animated diagrams like this one i hope those will help illustrating some of the concepts behind the example scenes i'm preparing for the upcoming blog post

I've been starring at this version of the blog for the past 3 days and it survived I think I like it better + it matches the portfolio next up: polishing the article layout

atmosphere post-processing effect now with draggable celestial objects

getting there another attempt at making my 3D scenes look like painting, this time implemented through an anisotropic Kuwahara filter

been willing to make this kind of "perspective stack" component for a while it was a fun little challenge to orchestrate the transitions just right built with Motion

Depixelizing shader effect layered on top of "La Corniche near Monaco"

2025 wrapped - got my US citizenship - gave a talk at Figma Config - learned a lot of cool new shader stuff - reached my running goals - met a lot of cool people from twitter irl and made a lot of new friends - signed a new job offer (👀) super thankful and excited for 2026!

been looking for the right scene to demo my lcd display shader this one felt just right

"data stream" rendered in real time with WebGPU a little teaser demo of what’s possible with the techniques i’ll cover in my upcoming blog post

my blog post on motion-based shader is almost ready! it will be out once back from vacation in 2 weeks, there are a few details to tweak, i don't want to rush things :) meanwhile, i added a few new modes to my blob tracking demo for you to play with

got tempted to rebuild this in webgl using my volumetric lighting shader work not as good but still a fun one to build

added support for solar eclipses a little palate cleanser before i wrap up the blog post and demos

fluted glass post-processing effect with dynamic lighting

expanding on my WebGPU motion tracking effect work this time with optical flow to visualize the motion of pixels as directional vectors in real time :)

blob tracking effect built with WebGPU had fun playing with motion-based effects alongside sound over the past few weeks :)

built a new version of my lens shader effect: - no geometries, just SDF - sharper edge with better lighting - can render a pixelated output to let you observe your pixels at work → play with it at

finally got a place to show and reflect the work I've been doing for the past few years ↳

i liked this halftone style so much i had to try reimplementing it in webgl

added some of my favorite work of 2025 to my personal website along with some small yet satisfying updates →

deconstructing my sky shader in 3 steps - sampling atmospheric density with raymarching - adding mie scattering + ozone for a more realistic *blue* sky - lightmarching for sunsets and sunrises all of that packaged in this small canvas-based demo

little sneak peek of what I've been quietly cooking on the side finally got the motivation to build my personal website from the ground up and getting a good gut feeling about it still a lot to do and tweak until I can be proud enough of it to deploy it 🙂

raymarched blackhole with volumetric accretion disk

volumetric lighting post-processing effect implemented with raymarching

cooking some new post-processing effects

little halftone side quest inspired by the work of Kat ⊷ the Poet Engineer

sunsets, from space, in real time, in your browser spent this past month learning about atmospheric scattering to build beautiful skies and lighting happy with the result so far, lots to try still
