Creative Interactive Experiences

Saplings is a visionary WebGL-powered platform that gamifies fighting climate change. As the project's founder, I architected and implemented immersive 3D environments, focusing on engagement and education for eco-conscious users. The platform combines real-time, interactive simulations with NFT integration to incentivize tree planting worldwide.

• Key Features: Immersive 3D worlds, NFT ecosystem, climate impact rewards, responsive game engine.

• Role: Concept, design, full-stack dev (Art Direction, WebGL).

• Impact: Successfully gamified climate action for an international community while helping to donate funds directly to environmental causes. The platform was recognized by leading environmental organizations for its innovative approach to climate engagement and measurable impact on reforestation efforts.

• Challenges: Complex tech stack including mixed of 3D and NFT technology, strategic recruitment and management of skilled volunteers across multiple disciplines, and identifying the right technical specialist to handle 3D implementation.

• Learnings: Developed art direction skills while leading a multidisciplinary team through complex project phases. Significantly deepened my 3D knowledge through advanced WebGL pipelines and built valuable partnerships within the climate tech ecosystem.
