https://sertae.com/knotwork - 3D jewellery design app I’ve created in 2012 In 2012 I had a hard time looking for a job in my trained engineering field, so I’ve decided to do something constructive with the spare time between interview calls and meetings. I took some new tech (back then) like WebGL, Canvas, Workers and combined them with 3D modeling, matrix math, 3D printing limitations. It was a lot of fun and I’ve learned a lot. The day it went live on production I had this feeling “ok, it’s done, what now?”. SEO, social media, ads, all of them needed some time to kick in. I’ve added to the CV my fresh, new, software engineering experience and sent few of them for frontend developer positions. Got a job the very next day. Even now, when it is already dated, has a lot of technical debt or looks like coded by a 3 yr old, we did had a good laugh at the expense of my younger self, discussing how my craft has changed. It’s a great conversation starter, and a live example that you can deliver, however it looks like. I will refactor it one day. I hope. Since then, during job seeking, no code assignment was ever needed. |
