Hiren  wanted to be Batman, settled for creative technologist.
I’m a curious blend of interaction designer, creative coder, VJ, and the occasional digital alchemist.
Known for bad puns—and occasionally, good interfaces.

Over 12+ years, I've built my own box that doesn't fit anywhere else.

Sometimes it’s a Webflow site.
Sometimes it’s WebGL—soon, WebGPU.
Sometimes it’s a TouchDesigner patch connecting noodles like synapses.
Sometimes it’s a ComfyUI where I am trying out AI models locally.
Other times, it’s a massive LED wall, or a shader reacting to your heartbeat.

Each project is part of the same story:
where tech, art, and emotion collide.

⚡  Currently

  • Designing & building experimental web experiences at metalfinger.xyz
  • Creating TouchDesigner experiments with shaders, MIDI, depth data & real-time interactivity
  • Exploring local AI models — testing everything from RVC to Diffusion to see where it all goes
  • Diving into WebGPU, procedural workflows & creative tools for the near future
  • Learning how to do more with less (and still make it look cool)

🌀  Previously

  • VJ’d live shows for Arijit Singh, Sunidhi Chauhan, Amit Trivedi, and others
  • Projection mapping technician for Introspection — showcased at Saatchi Gallery, London & Alserkal Avenue, Dubai
  • Taught Generative Animation at NID, Ahmedabad
  • Worked with indie artists, Web3 projects, and production houses to craft immersive digital experiences
  • Built custom tools, broke them (intentionally), fixed them (eventually)

💬  Fun Facts

  • Built a TouchDesigner VJ rig that nearly fried my GPU (worth it)
  • Webflow builds faster than instant noodles
  • Tried explaining GLSL at a wedding. Bad idea.
  • My cat supervises all projects. She’s a tough critic.
  • Every project is a remix — chaos, control, and happy accidents
  • Obsessively collects weird interfaces and beautiful errors

🧪  Things I Love

  • Creative coding: GLSL, p5.js, Three.js
  • Real-time visuals: TouchDesigner + sensors + sound + light
  • No-code wizardry: Webflow with a twist of custom JS
  • Local AI experimentation: RVC, Diffusion, ComfyUI, Depth models & more
  • Interaction design that surprises and delights
  • Pixel art, retro UIs, 90s operating systems, and analog nostalgia
  • Collaborating with curious minds and boundary-pushers
