A typed media hub and modular portfolio that turns code, writing, images, integrations, and live activity into durable public project dossiers. F34 is the publishing and aggregation layer for the Polinaria workspace. It preserves articles, images, audio, video, and files as typed artifacts, then composes them with Forgejo, Wake, and future integrations through a reusable tile-provider system.

Role
Creator · product design, full-stack architecture, and implementation
Impact
Built a typed media and portfolio system that composes public evidence from articles, media, project activity, and integrations while enforcing visibility boundaries.

Directing the Room Without Micromanaging It

A catalog, musical boundaries, and ephemeral guidance turn pattern choice into a stable creative control layer.

ACTIVE

A Unity-driven, music-reactive lighting engine that turns rendered scenes into real-time Open Pixel Control for spatial LED installations. DungeonOPC treats a room-sized pixel installation as a programmable visual instrument. Unity renders patterns and choreography into fixture-specific pixel paths, while OPC networking delivers frames to physical hardware and optional audio analysis steers intensity, timing, and motifs.

Role
Creator · interactive lighting architecture, Unity rendering, and fixture integration

Built a playable visual instrument that renders one authored scene into fixture-aware OPC paths, keeping creative composition independent from physical lighting outputs.

From Track State to an Explainable Visual Choice

Music-aware autoplay works best when it can admit uncertainty, explain its ranking, and keep the show moving.

ACTIVE

A real-time visual playback engine that normalizes media, selects against musical state, and streams synchronized H.264 shows. Visualizer Stream turns a media catalog into a controllable live visual system rather than a conventional video player. A FastAPI control plane owns normalization, analysis, catalog state, queueing, autoplay, render-node coordination, and RTP streaming while authoritative music-state updates guide selection.
