How BB-8 Works
"There were a lot of discussions about how having a CG BB-8 would be so much easier, but we also knew it would be better for the film if it were performed" said director J.J. Abrams when the first trailer for Star Wars Episode VII debuted.
But how was BB-8 actually built? Strangely, the internet didn’t have a clear answer—so a friend and I set out to uncover it ourselves.

Beach Boys Legacy
Beach Boys Legacy is my frontend development playground—a passion project dedicated to The Beach Boys, one of my favorite bands.
With a discography spanning over six decades, I realized there wasn’t a great place online to explore their vast catalog. So, two friends and I decided to create the ultimate experience for browsing extensive discographies.
This side project helps me keep my frontend skills sharp. It also scored me some backstage passes to Beach Boys and Brian Wilson shows :)
