§ Publications & projects
Each of these started with something I wanted to see and no tool would show. Most turned into papers. The rest stopped where they stopped.

Offline generative art built with Python, ModernGL and GLSL shaders — fluid-like pigment fields inspired by karesansui dry gardens, with five palettes and randomized rocks that redirect the flow. Runs on its own as ambient art, or as an interactive canvas you shape with the mouse. No internet, no telemetry, no data collection.
Yet another Pomodoro focus timer, built with Python and tkinter — configurable focus/break cycles, optional sound effects and light/dark themes. No internet, no third-party dependencies, no data collection.
Class example: serving interactive Bokeh visualizations through a simple Flask web app and SQLite database.
