Developed a high-resolution 3D road corridor model using GIS and terrain data to visualize road alignment, elevation profiles, and surrounding landscapes. The project delivered realistic engineering-grade visualizations for planning, stakeholder presentations, and project documentation.

Visual Atlas
Explore public domain image archives as navigable visual landscapes instead of searchable databases.
Visual Atlas is an experimental infinite-canvas interface that transforms large public image archives into navigable visual landscapes.
Instead of searching through lists, folders, or grids, users can freely pan across a continuously generated visual space where related images naturally cluster together. The result is a more intuitive, exploratory way of discovering connections, patterns, and forgotten collections within massive image archives.
It can also be used for your own personal collections — images, screenshots, and visual fragments that otherwise slumber forgotten on your hard drive — turning them into a living, explorable memory space.
The Problem
Large visual collections are searchable, but they are not explorable.Many public image collections contain millions of valuable images, but traditional search interfaces often limit discovery to keyword-based retrieval and static browsing.
Visual Atlas explores a different question:
What if archives could be explored spatially, like places rather than databases?
By organizing images through semantic similarity and presenting them on an infinite canvas, users can navigate archives through visual relationships and serendipitous exploration.

Process
The project combines AI-assisted development, semantic clustering, and rapid interface prototyping with Figma, Figma MCP, Figma Make and Claude
Development Workflow
I used Figma to create the initial design then used Figma MCP to design the spatial memory system in Claude and Figma Make to rapidly generate and iterate the interactive infinite canvas prototype and interface, and refined it into a working memory exploration system.

Built a concept website for an autonomous surveillance robot fully interactive 3D scene running live in Spline.
Dark environment, electric blue lightning, the unit sitting right in the middle of it. The kind of hero section that doesn't need a headline to make a point.

Genzeb AI — Dashboard Design
Designed a dashboard concept for an AI-powered productivity platform focused on workflow automation, performance tracking, and real-time insights.
The realtime metrics panel alongside the call management charts is a smart layout choice. Keeping live data and historical context in the same view without it feeling crowded is tricky to pull off in dashboard design.
