I build interactive 3D for the web.

Visualizations, experiences and web applications that run in any browser — share a link, and it just works.

What you can commission

Design and engineering in one pair of hands: from the first sketch to a fast, accessible build running on your domain.

  • Data and spatial visualization

    Make a dataset, a system or a physical space legible — turn numbers and geometry into something people grasp at a glance.

  • Landing pages and brand experiences

    A page people remember and forward, built on real-time 3D instead of another stock video header.

  • Interactive product configurators

    Let customers turn, open and specify your product in the browser, and reach checkout already knowing what they are buying.

  • Custom 3D web applications

    Where off-the-shelf software stops: purpose-built tools that let people see and work with 3D directly, in the browser.

Tell me what you need

Satellog

An atmospheric news feed: a satellite orbits a photoreal Earth, and every orbital jump surfaces one live headline as a log entry. Real orbital motion, a day/night terminator and umbra shading drive the scene.

What it demonstrates

  • Physically-based lighting and shading
  • Custom camera and animation systems
  • Live third-party data woven into the scene
  • A calm atmosphere carried by light and pacing

Sugarstack

A visually driven nutritional calculator for sugar and calorie amounts. Enter a food item — or a calorie or sugar count — and watch it fall as a physical pile of sugar cubes, donuts or pizzas, so an abstract number turns into something you can see.

What it demonstrates

  • Real-time physics simulation
  • Instanced rendering at scale
  • Interaction design that turns data into intuition
  • Food name, typed amount or meal photo as input

Trismegistus

A visualized, interactive etymology dictionary: enter a word and walk it back through its origins, growing a derivation graph across the surface of a 3D sphere. The etymologies come from a validated lookup that cross-checks a language model against a linguistic corpus. Any graph exports to a flat, readable PDF.

What it demonstrates

  • Procedural geometry and canvas-to-texture rendering
  • LLM integration behind a strict response schema
  • Corpus-primary etymology with LLM as fallback
  • Client-side PDF generation

Start a project

Tell me what you are trying to show, and roughly when you need it. A rough idea is enough to start from — you do not need a spec.

I usually reply within a day or two.
