I’m a gamedev and robotics enthusiast. I designed and programmed this ball bouncing machine in my spare time (using Unity for the image processing.) I like math and physics. While working at VirtualCast I wrote various mathy blog posts; One was about how to simulate the movements of a double pendulum. Another one was about understanding Quaternions. I also like making games! I made Block Line Engineer. I reside in Sapporo, Japan.
