In April of 2025, I started working towards a degree in computer science at the University of the People. That was my primary focus for most of the year.

In late 2025, Alex and I (Noise Factor) decided to rewrite our shader-based art app Noisedeck. The previous version was beginning to have performance problems, and we knew we needed to improve the rendering engine and shaders in order to continue growing it. Since then, Noisedeck and our other projects have kept me busy. We’re targeting mid-April for the launch of Noisedeck 2.0, so the development pace has intensified recently.

I’m still working towards the degree, but have reduced my course load for now. I’m also making art here and there and will have some things to share soon.
