I enjoy figuring out how things work and learning about weird things. My goal is to build a powerful platform for creative expression. This is NikNak, make games together. Invent original 3D characters and worlds that come alive.

What I believe in:

  1. 3D media is stronger than 2D media because it's more immersive. Brains are optimized for spatial reasoning.
  2. Hanging out in real time in 3D third spaces is more intimate, especially when the space is made by the people in it.
  3. What's stopping the metaverse from happening is that making 3D content is way too hard for normies, not better hardware.

I like software, physics, and graphics programming. My WPM is over 150. I majored in Electrical Engineering & Computer Science @ MIT. Before that, I majored in Piano @ Dreyfoos School of the Arts, and was a concert pianist. Since then, I've had a variety of crazy life experiences.

I’m interested in meeting systems thinkers, people who love understanding how the knobs and gears turn inside a machine, who get excited about topics like physics, game engines, linear algebra, computer architecture, etc. Email me at cat@niknak.com.
