Hi, this is Alex

I'm a Senior Frontend Developer who ended up specializing in something pretty niche: taking huge, messy real-world datasets - aerial imagery, BIM models, sensor feeds - and turning them into smooth 3D scenes that actually run in a browser. Cesium.js and Three.js are basically my daily drivers at this point.

Facts about me 👨‍💻

  • Frontend engineer at Constructor, building a city-scale Digital Twin of Moscow - 2,500 km², 9,000+ live data layers, real-time transport data over WebSockets
  • Trained as a civil/structural engineer before switching to frontend - so when I look at a BIM model or a utility network, I'm not just rendering it, I actually know what it means
  • Wrote custom Cesium.js patches for WebGL error handling because off-the-shelf stopped being enough at city scale
  • Built a Chrome DevTools extension just to profile LOD tile performance sanely, instead of guessing
  • Also comfortable outside the geospatial bubble - React, Angular, Redux/NgRx, REST APIs, testing with Jest
  • Based in Chiang Mai, Thailand, open to relocating for the right role

Markup & Styling: HTML5, CSS3, Semantic HTML.
Version Control: Git, GitHub, GitLab.
Domain Expertise: Digital Twin development, BIM/CAD data integration, Photogrammetry.

What I'm building 🧪

  • GEO Three Scene - a hybrid geospatial viewer that syncs a Cesium.js 3D globe with a React Three Fiber scene, visualizing a map's XYZ tile pyramid in real time - tile loads, LOD levels, and broken tiles all rendered live as a 3D structure on top of the globe. Built as a demo of profiling and debugging tooling for geospatial apps - the kind of visibility into tile/LOD behavior that's normally invisible in production. React, TypeScript, Vite.

Currently learning 🎓

  • WebGPU, now that it's actually usable in production
  • Going deeper into React Three Fiber and the wider R3F ecosystem
  • Whatever the next off-the-shelf library stops being enough for
