Vulkan rendering

I'm currently learning Vulkan by building my own graphics engine! Below is an example scene rendering a spiral galaxy structure modelled with the density wave theory.

NodeNMR

Denoising software for nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, with an interface for combining steps into a pipeline. It provides various denoising methods, including a fast implementation of Cadzow filtering, a method based on singular value decomposition from linear algebra.

Particle Hive

A molecular dynamics simulation written using GPU compute shaders. These can run efficiently on most consumer hardware, including in browser using WebGPU. Users can interact with particles live, changing parameters like time step, heat, or even the forces between particles. Some pairwise atomic potentials are provided by default, with an API for users to add more (read the docs.)

Geary

An entity component system I wrote from the ground up in Kotlin. It lets users write fast code in a modular way by making systems that quickly iterate over entities with desired data. It uses archetypes for its architecture, and the design would allow for data to be packed tightly in memory once value objects are added to Java. It also has entity relations built into the engine, inspired by flecs.

You can see a demo in my blog post Making an efficient Minecraft particle system using ECS

Sysadmin work at Mine in Abyss

A community-driven recreation of Made in Abyss in Minecraft. I did game development and server infrastructure work across several projects that help us deploy and maintain servers as a small team, here's a quick summary of my work there:

• Created Keepup, a CLI tool to manage server plugin dependencies and configs, including support for templates with minimum startup time overhead.
• Worked extensively with Grafana to set up server monitoring that's helped greatly with diagnosing tps issues. I've also made a small Paper plugin to easily set up Pyroscope for continuous profiling.
• Automated machine provisioning with an Ansible playbook that sets up a new server and services via Docker compose.
• I also made a per-server config propagation playbook that pulls and copies config updates from GitHub, including private repositories for things like custom models.
• Made custom Docker images that help tie all our tools into one package that's useful for production and local development.

Weekly task planner

A cross-platform task and week planning app written on Jetpack Compose, with a sync server. It uses sqlite for storage, with near-instant startup times on Android, alongside a quick-add feature.

Clicky

A simple tool to poll large groups of people (eg. a classroom) and display results live. A presenter can create a room, define a list of options, and have an audience join via a QR code on screen. The app is built with Ktor and HTMX, which combined made handling live updates surprisingly simple.

Game jams

I've worked in Unity and Godot with C# to create games for game jams. My latest entry was Rock Bottom in Ludum Dare 46. I worked in a team of three to create a physics puzzle game using an event driven architecture.

Website development

I've designed a few websites using a custom static site generator called Shocky. It's built in Kotlin but generates plain HTML and CSS without any client-side JavaScript. These include:

• The Mine in Abyss website
• Documentation sites for my projects (eg. Geary)
• Naturally, this very website
