My capstone project: a VR wildfire simulator for California, part of a larger effort that uses machine learning to predict where a fire will spread.

I'm building the terrain. It turns USGS elevation data into 3D ground on the same 30 m grid the model predicts on, so a forecast lines up with the hills it's burning across.

On the side, I'm fiddling with getting Super Smash Bros. Melee running natively in the browser with wasm. Where it's at.
