About

Hi, I’m David Byrd.

I currently work as a C++ software engineer in the physics-based modeling domain, and my technical focus is on computer graphics and visualization.

For the past three years I’ve been developing a 3D fractal rendering and modeling application called Oak Fractal Sandbox.  You can find a set of renders I’ve done with this software on my renders page.

I spend a lot of time on music: listening to it, reading about it, creating it, etc.  I make electronic music under the moniker Loak.

I play piano and drums.  I’ve also written several pieces of music software, one that visualizes piano music in real-time and another that generates procedural music for the piano.
