01Expertise
Depth in the algorithms. Breadth in the engineering.
Graphics & simulation
3D computer graphics and modelling of biological and physical systems. Research involving vegetation, ecosystems, atmospheric processes, and wildfire simulation.
Software & tools
Software engineering from low-level algorithms to SDKs, internal research tools, and web applications. Connecting computational methods with the people who use them.
02Commercial R&D
From the algorithm to the application.
Selected work in computer vision, signal processing, and the software around them. These descriptions focus on my role and publicly shareable scope.
Shen.AI — camera-based physiological signals
Computer vision and digital signal processing research and programming for an rPPG extraction SDK. SDK development and support, alongside internal tools for data analysis.

Built to explore. Built to use.
Simulation, developer tooling, and everyday applications. Personal projects give me room to investigate ideas and build tools I want to use.
Growing a virtual forest
An application in development for interactive forest generation, connected to my PhD research on ecosystem simulation. The project combines biological models, 3D graphics, and web technologies.
The application is in development and is not yet available to try.
Project websitetunable-cpp
A header-only C++ library for inspecting and changing variables at runtime through an interactive command line. A small tool for experimenting with parameters while a program is running.
float threshold = 0.5f;
tunable(threshold);
tunable_cmd();Tools for time & tasks
Personal productivity tools for time measurement with statistics and insights, alongside to-do lists and task management. Built with end-to-end encryption for privacy.
04Academic research
Modelling the complexity of nature.
My PhD at Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznań focused on ecosystem simulation. Coauthored work explores vegetation, climate, clouds, and wildfires, published in ACM Transactions on Graphics at SIGGRAPH and SIGGRAPH Asia.
