I'm a software developer specializing in front-end engineering and full-stack development with a focus on building user-friendly, high-performance applications. I’ve worked extensively with React, TypeScript, and Node.js, while diving deeper into the intersection of graphics programming, emerging technologies, and interactive user interfaces.

🌄 WebGPU Topographic Map
A 2D/3D elevation renderer that processes and visualizes TIFF data in real time.

• Built with Vite + WebGPU.

• Built from scratch with no external libraries—leverages raw WebGPU for maximum control.

• Implements ambient, diffuse, and specular lighting, via custom shaders.

• Currently overhauling the codebase to modularize rendering methods and enable fully parameterized controls with Zustand.

  

🧠 Deepscatter WebGPU Prototype
WebGPU prototype implementation for visualizing deep embeddings.

• Demonstrates handling of massive datasets.
• Pushes performance boundaries beyond WebGL.

🕹️ 3D Graphics Engine in C
A custom-built 3D software renderer written in C, implementing core graphics concepts from scratch.

• Developed using C and SDL2.
• Implements custom 3D transformations, perspective projection, backface culling, and depth sorting.
• Supports textured and wireframe rendering modes.
• Built upon a strong foundation of low-level linear algebra and graphics pipeline principles.

• Languages: JavaScript, TypeScript, Node.js, C.
• Front-End: React, Vite, CSS, Three.js, React Three Fiber.
• Graphics: WebGPU, WebGL, GLSL Shaders, SDL2.
• Backend: Node.js, Event-Driven Microservices, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Redis, Docker, AWS (S3, Lambda, DynamoDB), REST, GraphQL
