I’m Shawn — a programmer and engineer who blends code, creativity, and technical precision to build everything from real-time particle simulations to safe, compliant products in the lab.
Programming & CGI
Realtime Particle Systems
100k+ particles, audio-reactive dynamics, custom GPU/OSL/GLSL tooling.
Rendering & CGI
Blender pipeline work: geometry nodes, simulation zones, and pipeline automation.
Tools & Frameworks
Next.js, Tailwind, ComfyUI/SDXL, and bespoke Python utilities for workflows.
Engineering & Mathematics
Modeling & Analysis
Numerical methods, optimization, and verification/validation for simulations.
Fixtures & Instrumentation
Designing robust test setups, DAQ, and calibration-aware measurement flows.
Controls & Kinematics
From vector fields to motion planning — practical math in service of results.
Product Safety & Lab Work
Standards & Compliance
UL/IEC/CSA environments, dielectric/leakage current testing, and reporting.
Power & Thermal
Split-phase setups, load banks, and temperature/rise analysis under stress.
Process & Automation
Sample tracking, fixtures, and scripts that cut cycle time and reduce error.
Whether I’m coding a simulation or testing a product, my goal is the same — to push the boundaries of what’s possible while ensuring every detail meets the highest standards.
When I’m not in front of a screen or at the lab bench, you’ll find me hiking with my girlfriend and our pets, experimenting in the kitchen, or collecting rare Pokémon cards.
