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

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

In 2022, I started creating sudokus and other pencil puzzles. Three of my puzzles have been featured on Cracking the Cryptic:

• 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.

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.

Code Doodles

Some fun little code doodles on Codepen and stuff.

• 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.

Pokémon Dataviz

A collection of Observable notebooks showcasing my attempts to derive interesting facts about Pokémon derived from game data, including a filterable Table of Pokémon.

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.
