San Francisco, California eric.paul.gregory@gmail.com
My fascination with interactive art started at a young age. Early video games, text adventures, and the Exploratorium in San Francisco caught my curiosity about what I could build on our home computer. To this day, I still find myself drawn to exploring the space where art and technology meet.
resonate_glitch takes in various inputs: the camera feed, mic input, and accelerometer motion data on your phone. Running these parameters through an algorithm, it produces synthesized electronic "music" with a glitchy camera view.
The aim of the project is to create a synthetic synchronicity. Does the music have any meaning? Are you able to affect it in any way? It's up to the user to experiment and find out.

This site-specific audio walking tour transformed existing physical spaces into a hybrid story world.
Loosely based on my own life, the tale is from the perspective of a rebellious young mermaid who leaves her home world to discover herself among the humans in San Francisco.
Moshtroncity displays a datamosh visualizer that glitches the live camera feed in sync with the beat of any loud music playing.
Runs entirely on-device with no backend server. Rhythm and harmony detection comes from my beatfinder library.
Displays the live "Matrix Rain" effect based on the camera feed, with auto-gain that adjusts to the environment.
Transforms your live camera feed into a low-poly triangle view.
Turns your webcam into live pop art. Uses edge detection (Sobel algorithm) with a reduced and blown-out color palette. Dots and stripes replace some of the colors to imitate comic panels and Roy Lichtenstein-style art.
Fades a set of lights (LEDs, for example) in and out with a random sequence every time via an Arduino and a single photoresistor. Simple and reliable, this code has powered my own nightlight for many years.
Since the early days of the web, I've maintained some sort of web presence, starting with a hand-coded website in HTML 2 to host my software projects. After a lengthy stint with LAMP I've since graduated to modern full stack development with Python, React, etc. This list is limited to select personal projects only.
My first "vibe coded" webapp displays the current state of San Francisco's Muni Metro subway via machine learning, using Google Cloud Run as the backend.
Provides movie ratings from every episode of Tim Heidecker and Gregg Turkington's long-running comedy series, On Cinema at the Cinema.
My personal blog covers travel, movies, comedy, tech, and whatever I find on the streets of San Francisco.
Also, be prepared for the occasional conspiracy theory and/or rant about "immersive art."
My personal calling card, in web form.
I've been developing software since I was a teenager learning to code in QBasic, Turbo Pascal, and HyperCard. In 2009, I earned a Master of Science in Computer Science.
Over the following years, I've become a generalist, tackling projects ranging from embedded Linux systems to reverse engineering Windows applications to the web. This section highlights my work on open source projects.
Projects I've created and (in some cases) actively maintain.
This easy to use news reader works on Windows, Mac, and Linux. The UI is custom QML. All parsing of RSS/Atom/Sitemap/JSON documents is performed in the C++ layer for maximum performance.
A simple JavaScript library that stitches together some other JavaScript libraries to react to live music via an event system. Geared toward developers making HTML5 visualizations for live music, raves, etc. Works best with electronic beats such as EDM, electronica, house, hip hop, etc. All processing is performed locally on-device.
This JavaScript library is aimed at engineers developing Firefox extensions who wish to verify them with Selenium tests. This grew out of a Firefox extension I was working on, as there was no obvious way for Selenium to deal with Firefox tabs or easily communicate with extensions once they were installed.
QML user interface for a drag and drop rearrangeable list with one-level deep folders. Supports both desktop and mobile touch screens. Example provided in both pure QML for rapid prototyping as well as a C++ backend.
Originally developed for Fang, this simple C++ header-only library can be used to not only ensure that one and only one instance of your app is running, but also send a signal to the original instance. In Fang, this signal is primarily used on Windows to show the app when it's been minimized to the system tray.
Also developed for Fang, this C++ library allows your Qt application to launch at user login. Designed to be easy to use, with only a single line of code to enable or disable the feature.
Simple Qt/C++ library for downloading content from the web (HTTP and HTTPS) asynchronously with sensible defaults and retry options. Includes support for batch downloads.
Tracker music library for playing music and responding to musical cues. Intended to be used in video game development. Includes C and Lua bindings.
Windows command line utility to crash another process. Useful for testing crash reporters.
Projects I have contributed to, either as an employee or volunteer.
Desktop podcast client. Contributed additional search engines, bug fixes, and translations. Officially a project collaborator as of March 2026.
Desktop client for the Jellyfin Media System (deprecated version). Contributed build and setup scripts and bug fixes.

Easy to use email client for GNOME and compatible Linux desktops.
Contributed initial UI, HTML email support, and parts of IMAP backend as an employee of the Yorba Foundation.

Easy to use photo manager for GNOME and compatible Linux desktops.
Contributed RAW+JPEG support, custom MOV parser, and search UI as an employee of the Yorba Foundation.
Photo gallery app commissioned by Canonical for Ubuntu Phone, intended to ship with the (unreleased) Ubuntu Edge handset.
Contributed SQLite storage backend and iterated on UI as an employee of the Yorba Foundation.
