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!

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 :)

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

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 🙂

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

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 ↓
