Background I've recently finished developing, training, and deploying a neural network-based recommender model. It takes a user profile (consisting of a set of entities and optionally ratings for those entities) and outputs values that can be used to crea

Overview Geotoy is a Shadertoy-inspired web app for building 3D meshes with code. It includes a custom DSL called Geoscript which provides a syntax and wide set of built-in functions for generating, combining, and manipulating 3D geometry. Geotoy wasn't r

I, like many other devs, learned most of my coding by building projects. I've never been one to read textbooks or tutorials through chapter by chapter - I prefer to start something and then look stuff up along the way and trial-and-error my way to the end

For the past several years, I've been working on and off on a browser-based DAW and audio synthesis tool which is still stuck with the placeholder name Web Synth. When the project first started off, it was a wrapper around native Web Audio nodes with a MI

I took part in Advent of Code 2024 this year. It's a yearly event where a new holiday-themed programming puzzle is released every day of December through Christmas, and people from all across the internet compete to see who can solve them the fastest. It'

I recently finished up the process of fixing a bug in the Chromium/Google Chrome web browser. It was my first time contributing to the Chromium project or any other open source project of that scale, and it was a very unique experience compared to other o

For a couple of years now, I've been working on and off on some 3D scenes and levels that run in the browser. It started off as a scattering of self-contained demos for some custom shaders or similar that I wanted to try out, but over time the project has

There's been a fair bit of buzz about Kolmogorov-Arnold networks online lately. Some research papers were posted around claiming that they offer better accuracy or faster training compared to traditional neural networks/MLPs for the same parameter count.

Overview When I started off, my goal was simply to subdivide 3D meshes. I wanted to add more geometry to simple meshes so that I could apply programmatic deformation like greebling and noise to give them increased detail and realism in procedurally and se

Background As part of some other work I was doing that involved programmatically manipulating 3D meshes, I encountered the need to compute normals for them from scratch. Usually this isn't necessary since applications like Blender handle doing this automa
