3D Particle System
A real-time 3D particle simulation exploring motion, interaction, and the visual language of emergent systems.

Augmented Platformer

A little context
Curious by default.
Practical by choice.
My work has always lived at the intersection of a hard technical problem and a human one. I've built developer tools, connected things that weren't meant to connect, and made a few games along the way.
I like small, focused teams, generous collaboration, and shipping something real. If it's useful, a little weird, and built with care, I'm probably interested.
