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