This Website

Initially, this website is supposed to serve as both my Resume and Portfolio. It is based on Gatsby - a React framework made for static websites. I play here with different libraries and web technologies.

It is hosted on Netlify.

• GraphQL for working with data
• Mapbox for interactive maps
• Google Maps for static maps and routes sharing

They are working a lot on AR representations and despite the lack of visual effectiveness, the potential might be huge for a 3D-in-browser world.

Menu that (on November 2021) you can see on the Main page uses Holographic buttons developed for Hololens SDK. I know you are probably using just a browser now, but anyway having this stuff is cool.
