I am a student, actor and proud Physics nerd. My home is the beautiful rural town of Ōhaupō, New Zealand. I remember the day my dad grudgingly brought home our first computer, what can be done with one has captivated me ever since. I love exoplanets, the glare of stage lights, learning, talking, and educating. If you want to talk to me, I'd love to hear from you!

Projects

Quantum Hydrogen

A visualisation of electron locations in a hydrogen atom. The shapes are derived from Quantum Mechanics. The details are a little painful, but the shapes are pretty!

Solar System

The live (approximate) locations of planets and hundreds of thousands of asteroids in the Solar System. Does a bunch of physics on the client-side with some Web Assembly via Rust.
