Who I am — Hello! My name is Jon, but you can call me Xor. I'm a graphics programmer with over a decade of shader experience, specializing in procedural generation, creative problem solving, and minimalist code. I started with GameMaker in 2010 and began writing shaders in 2013, eventually creating this site to share everything I've learned. Check out my full portfolio at
xordev.com.
What I'm up to — I work professionally on shader effects across games, web, and software. Recent projects include effects for
xAI, dynamic backgrounds for Shopify on the Las Vegas Sphere, browser themes for
Opera, CRT shaders for Atari's Power Rangers: Rita's Rewind, and the
Shader Arsenal.
