About

What This Site Is

This is a personal site for live Three.js sketches and 3D web experiments. Each sketch is a learning exercise in creative coding, WebGL, and real-time graphics. The work here is early-stage and exploratory—more about practice than polish.

Harbor Sling is the first game jam entry, parked here as an origin marker. It's not a finished or refined game, just a snapshot of where this work started. Looking back at early attempts is part of the process.

This is not a career site, not a resume, not a product showcase, and not marketing for ReasonRoute (a separate LLC). It's a place to host live sketches, track progress, and keep a record of builder experiments.

Technical Notes

The site is built with Next.js 15, Three.js, React Three Fiber, and Tailwind CSS. All pages support markdown negotiation—request any page with Accept: text/markdown or append .md to get a clean text version suitable for AI agents and screen readers.

The design uses a terminal/command-line aesthetic—dark backgrounds, monospace fonts, and minimal chrome. Parked exhibits at /exhibits/2d-vfx and /exhibits/ligature are archived experiments, not active showcases.

For AI agent guidance, see /llms.txt. For the full site structure, see the sitemap.
