Hi, I'm Nat! This is my personal website.

The Labyrinth of Polyominoes

A shrine and database of polyominoes, documenting interesting properties such as symmetry, genealogy, packing, and tiling.

Polyhedra Viewer

An interactive app that lets you view and transform various geometric solids, including Platonic solids, Archimedean solids, and Johnson solids.

Components AI

I worked at Components AI and designed and/or implemented many of the generators on the site, including:

• Color Scales
• Syntax Highlighter
• Gradient Editor
• SVG Grid Generator

In addition, I did architecture work and implemented a lot of the controls for CSS GUI, a library of composable inputs for manipulating CSS properties.

Permutation Group Visualizer

A little app to visualize various permutation groups and lets you push buttons to permute them.

Sudoku

I have been constructing sudoku and other pencil puzzles since 2022. Four of my puzzles have been featured on Cracking the Cryptic:

• Unique Japanese Sum Sudoku
• 2many arrows spoil the box
• Post Office Panic!
• Multiple Signs

A catalog of my puzzles can be found on my Logic Masters Germany user page.

Nat Notation

A calligraphic number system based on prime factorization.

Code Doodles

Some fun little code doodles on Codepen and stuff.

• Slime Simulator: For Global Game Jam 2023, I made a simulation based on the slime mold Physarum polycephalum. Feed the slime and watch it grow! Featuring music by Alex Friedland.
• Spiral Galaxy Illusion: Create the illusion of a spiral galaxy by rotating and scaling a field of stars.
• LCH and LAB "Color Pickers": demonstrate the gradient of the LAB and LCH color spaces at different values.
• Bagua Gray Code: (my first codepen!) Generates trigrams, hexagrams, and more based on a Gray Code.

Oru

A puzzle game about origami animals I made in 2017, based on LEGO World Builder.

Talks

Pre-pandemic, I used to give talks at tech conferences about projects I've worked on:

• Polyhedra, I Choose You! - About creating the Polyhedra Viewer.
• Is React Translated Yet? - How I got the documentation of React translated to more than a dozen languages.
