Technical Art • Pipeline • Hyperrealism

Bridging some the gap between creativity and technical execution. And having some fun doing it. I call it doing "CGI Shenanigans". But your mileage may vary.

Technical Case Studies

Lightning Text Editor

Custom GLFW/OpenGL text editor. Features a GPU-accelerated particle system and Command Pattern architecture for undo and built in rain simulator.
