I'm a mechanical engineering student, musician, and developer. And welcome to my personal blog 📝. A place where I talk about music 🎹, entrepreneurship 🚀 and engineering 🦾. If it is a song, a python snippet that throws people out of the internet, or a piano robot that plays a duet with me, I'm going to share it with you 🔥
Why I'm blogging?
When I started college, I had all these imaginations of projects I would craft during my studies. But the whole course of studies is built upon theory after theory. Nothing wrong with that. To be fair, I love to learn theory. But theorems are nothing special if we don't apply them in reality. With this blog, I want to convert that theory into projects. The blog gives me the possibility to share my thoughts and ideas with the world, and start establishing a tiny place in the internet universe!
But engineering is not the only love in my life. Growing up with two musicians as parents, I've been living for music since I was born. Even the first salary I earned was from playing the piano in the church. Music is heavily rooted in me, that's why it's going to be a part of my blog too.
See you in my blog posts! Peace ✌🏻!

Circle-to-circle collision detection is a fundamental topic in computer graphics, game development, and physics simulations. Unlike the intricate math required for detecting collisions between irregular polygons or complex 3D shapes, circle-to-circle collision detection is refreshingly straightforward. It leverages the inherent symmetry of circles to provide an efficient and easy-to-implement solution.

When setting out to build a physics engine, there's a fundamental building block you simply can't ignore: vectors. Vectors are the DNA of any physics computation—whether it's detecting collisions, applying forces, or calculating rotations.

In the last two months, I've implemented my own 2D physics engine using SFML from scratch, called Physics2D. It is able to handle forces, impulses, friction, collision detection and resolving, and it allows you to add distance sensors to your objects.

A new world is a piece about exploring an utterly new Exo-Planet. Imagine you’re in space, and you look out of the window. You see a new world that gets bigger and bigger as you move towards it. After breaking through the atmosphere, you land with your rocket.

This is a piano arrangement I composed back in 2020 when Switzerland was in lockdown. It's a combination of the music played in Star Wars, Pirates of the Caribbean, and Hobbits.
