Ray Painter is a software raytracing 3D renderer written from scratch in C++.
It was started in 2022 as my attempt at the Raytracer Challenge by Jamis Buck.
The project currently exists as a C++ library. An accompanying cross-platform desktop GUI is in development. The drawing API is currently used as procedural code.
At Polyverse Music, I served as Senior C++ Developer, specializing in GUI/UX programming on numerous products.
Polyverse’s products are known for their beautiful and intuitive design and UX, so it was a real honour to write code for numerous projects there.
Working in a distributed development team, I developed desktop software projects including Filtron, Supermodal and the upcoming Filterverse audio effect plugins.
Beginning in 2011, we invented, developed and shipped more than a dozen pro audio electronic products worldwide.
As founder and lead developer, this challenged and grew my product design and programming skills. I learned to solve engineering problems using circuit design enhanced with the digital intelligence of modern ARM Cortex embedded systems.
Invaluable first-hand lessons regarding business and marketing were also discovered.

Visitors – anonymous, or registered users – rate photos of pet animals which others have submitted, in order to be rewarded with a new image from the database.
An InfluxDB timeseries database provides real-time application monitoring and KPI dashboard functionality.
A desktop audio application built using C++ and the JUCE framework.
There are two playback decks for the user to load with audio files from the integrated track library. Various effects can be applied along with equal-power crossfading between the two decks.
Track playlists can be edited, saved and loaded from disk, and are persisted between application loads.
I’m a generalist who specializes in C++.
My favourite languages to work with are C++ and Python but you can also find me writing a fair amount of JavaScript when it’s the right tool for the job.
Leaning on my first-hand business experience and expertise in low-level systems, I’m especially interested in the finance, business logic and related sectors.
I’m available for work that leverages any of the following skills –

I’m an avid “homelabber” and operate a moderate sized server rack stuffed full of Linux servers, for learning and development.
When not writing code I can be found gardening, hiking and riding motorcycles through the countryside.
