Hi, I am Salai. đź‘‹

I am a creative technologist from India, helping companies at the intersection of 3D, programming, and computer graphics through bespoke software development. I am particularly interested in Python, Blender, Three.js, GLTF, and 3D graphics in general.

I have extensive experience in building CLIs, custom tools for viewing and manipulating 3D assets, 3D visualization, process automation, etc. and I am open to contracts.

I love reading, and I read a lot of books (mostly non-fiction). I also read a lot of newsletters and blogs from various people I follow. I write regularly here and on Twitter and LinkedIn.

I find the writings and philosophies of people like David Heinemeier Hansson, Sahil Lavingia, Naval Ravikant, Paul Graham and Derek Sivers to be very intriguing.

I am a big fan of and a true believer in open-source. Blender was my introduction to the world of open-source and my life has changed in unexpected ways since then.

I love good food and I wander around city to find good stuff to eat. Let me know if you want list of must try items in Chennai.

Works

I constantly expand my horizons through small experiments that challenge me with learning new tools, techniques or technologies, and I write about them on my blog.

You can find some of the open-source tools I have developed on GitHub. My personal favorites:

Before that, I used to do architectural visualization for a few years. You can find some of my artworks and behind the scenes on Artstation and Instagram. Again, my personal favorites:
