    Next week at the University of Waterloo, I'll teach an intro to ray tracing and procedural game generation followed by a deep dive into making your own procedural 3D content using Shadertoy. Requires only coding experience, no previous graphics required.

    Earlier this year I had the wonderful opportunity to contribute some Islamic geometric patterns to an art project featured at Burning Man 2019. I wrote up a blog post about the project, including some rejected designs.
