🔭 I’m always open to discuss parttime jobs (freelance)!

📝 My resume can be downloaded here

👯 I’m currently working on my ✨science & mathematics website✨

🌱 I’m relearning the stuff I did as a student theoretical physics

🤔 I’m looking for help creating more scientific 3D visualizations

💬 Ask me about anything!

My portfolio

Test-driven development

I love teaching people more about TDD. Strongly recommended: take a look at my TDD pages section that belongs to my TDD repository, which in turn is packed with dozens of coding kata's.

Interactive 3D simulations & visualizations

I maintain a site containing countless interactive simulations in physics and mathematics. Some examples are reproduced below.

🔧 This solar_system.html uses JavaScript & Three.js
🧠 Newton-Raphson method for realistic (elliptic) orbits
👉 Inspired on solar-system by Luke Kulik, threex.planets by Jemore Etienne, and solarsystem by Dana Wensberg
🔑 Includes tilt, spin and tidal locking of applicable moons e.g. Earth’s moon
🚀 Features advanced techniques for rendering earth clouds & subtle corona breathing driven by magnetic turbulence

Spiral galaxy simulation

🔧 Written in JavaScript and Three.js, extended with coloring and fading
👉 Based on an original idea and article by Lee Vaughan.

Black hole ray tracer

🔧 This black hole ray tracer is a port to JavaScript executed by a web worker.
👉 Refactored and extended with realistic colour coding!
👉 Based on the blackhole_raytracer project by Arman T, Casper Y, Lulu W.
👉 See their accompanying GitHub pages and video, where they explain the code.

Falling raindrops

🔧 Ported to JavaScript and Three.js by Zeger Hendrikse, see raindrop_waves.html
👉 Based on this example from Recreational Mathematics with Python

Raindrops frequency:

Raindrops intensity:

3D shapes

🔧 This 3D shapes renderer is 100% JavaScript using Three.js.

3D visualization of some molecules

🔧 Written in pure JavaScript and three.js.
👉 Code developed in collaboration with MrBlankCoding in this GitHub repo.
👉 Molecular data taken from this code.
🔑 Hovering your mouse over each of the atoms displays additional information!
