Chaos Chess

Interactive · Web

I have loved chess since I was a child. This is a variant I built to train myself against randomness: the pieces reshuffle after every move. Play against Stockfish, running entirely in the browser. Built and deployed independently.

→ Play

ChromeChain

Data Visualization · Web

A Bitcoin blockchain visualizer. Each block becomes a colored pixel by XOR-ing its SHA-256 hash bytes across three groups (R, G, B), producing vivid, deterministic colors. 952 pages, ~951,000 blocks from 2009 to today.

About

I like telling stories that mean something: not only to me, but to anyone looking for something that goes a little further.

Ten years directing documentaries (intimate personal films, institutional portraits, EU-funded productions) taught me that the story comes first and the tool comes second. Lately that tool is often generative AI.

The same instinct pushes me into code: building the things I imagine rather than waiting for someone else to. A chess engine, a Bitcoin visualizer, an ongoing net-art project.
