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)

atmosphere post-processing effect now with draggable celestial objects

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

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

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!

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

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

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

fluted glass post-processing effect with dynamic lighting

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

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

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

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

finally got better looking volumetric clouds for my atmosphere shader upscaling still sucks but we're getting there

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

raymarched blackhole with volumetric accretion disk

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 🙂

volumetric lighting post-processing effect implemented with raymarching

cooking some new post-processing effects

volumetric lighting x lens flare effect (in orbit)

spent the past few evenings building an "inspiration board" that will then make its way to my portfolio it gathers a snapshot of the things core to my taste in things that inspire and influence my work still wip but if you want a sneak peek ↓

dot matrix tricker component made with css and canvas inspired by Marijana Pavlinić's wonderful portfolio → (still wip)

small yet satisfying updates coming to the playground component of my blog very happy with how the tabs turned out

first time trying my hand at procedural placement of assets 🌲 (almost) entirely done in compute shader! it was a bit of a tricky process as I wanted to avoid not unnatural clusters of trees while also preventing collisions How I did it ↓

some sub-pixel pattern experiments first one is inspired by the work of john provencher the rest are entirely hand crafted threshold matrices
