Here's a cut of some of my interactive and visual work from the past year.

I'm looking for work! I'm looking for remote work developing, prototyping and/or researching on editors, custom interactive things, or visualizations. I mostly work in JS/TS. Let me know if you know something pls ty :)

can't seem to get a timestamp from the video (about 13/16th way through), but the black dot letting the blue ink get pulled out of it is ❤

Sharing a fun student capstone project I advised, an Esolang for 2D drawing / animation using free prose:

stinkymilo.github.io/Prosetta/Frontend/docs/#/Overview

stinkymilo.github.io/Prosetta/Frontend

If anyone has ideas for venues they could publish this at I'd be very appreciative. Most of the evaluation so far has been practice-based, with a couple of small end-user studies as well. One of my favorite parts of the project is that they wrote the introduction to their capstone paper in the language itself... when executed it draws / animates an eye moving around a canvas.

That sounds very much like my criticism of today's software development habits for research settings (doi.org/10.1145/3689492.3689808). In research, the goal is not a product but understanding of the problem space. What you say, in summary, is that even if your goal is a product, you must first understand the problem space.

What was new to me is the enormous list of techniques proposed, but apparently not so much used, for applying this principle in engineering practice.

Technical question: how did you make that video? It looks LLM-generated from the text of the slides. I admit that I stopped watching after a few minutes, and read just the text.
