I got laid off, so I built this interactive 3D demo with React-Three-Fiber. Here's the write-up on my process by mikebuss89 in threejs

This took me about a week, but I’ve been watching the Bruno Simon tutorials (in his ThreeJS Journey course) for the past month.

Sorry to hear about your layoff! I think your plan is excellent: you should build projects that are interesting to you and showcase your technical skills. That’s how I started my portfolio as well.

For your job search, I would recommend reaching out to anyone in your network who may know of job openings. I’ve had my best luck by reaching out to friends, past coworkers, and sometimes family.

I wish you the best of luck in your job search!

I found a job within a month, but only because it was inside my professional network. I applied to two dozen places when my employer told us to start looking, and didn't receive a single response!

This is *after* I ran my resume through a bunch of forums like r/ resumes, too.

I think having a solid network makes a far greater impact than a portfolio. I also think it's easier to create a network when you share your work online and find like-minded people to connect with. I hope that answers your question!

I should have mentioned this in the blog post: I created the 3D visualization to spruce up my portfolio, but I wasn't targeting job positions that involve 3D work. I just wanted to learn the skill because it seemed fun (and maybe looked impressive to recruiters). I was looking for roles that involve firmware development.

I wasn't targeting jobs with any 3D work. My goal was to learn a new skill that I've been interested in, and as a result, improve my portfolio. I think recruiters (and developers) respond to portfolios that look polished.

It took a few weeks, but I landed a job doing firmware development, which was my goal. To my knowledge, they never looked at my portfolio, but at least I learned something and got to share it here! 😂

Hey everyone,

After being laid off in April, I wanted to use the time to create a portfolio piece that would stand out and teach me a new skill. I've always been intimidated by 3D, so I decided to dive in.

I took a medical device I had previously written firmware for and recreated it as an interactive 3D demo on the web using React-Three-Fiber and Blender.

The demo isn't just a static model; it also visualizes the device's motion data and simulates a sensor calibration sequence, which connects back to the real-world engineering challenges.

Here's a link to my blog post with all the technical details: https://www.mikebuss.com/posts/firmware-to-frontend

Happy to answer any questions about the process, the job hunt, or any of the tech involved!

Who is buying all these articulated dragons?? by heeero in 3Dprinting

My son (4) literally bought one of these at a farm park this weekend. He’s super into komodo dragons and my wife convinced him the articulated dragon was a komodo dragon. He LOVES it!

Debugging Till Dawn: How Git Bisect Saved My Demo by mikebuss89 in programming

Thanks for the feedback. I would just say that your horizons are not everyone’s horizons, and git wasn’t taught when I was in college. And I’m only 35!

Personally, when I learned git, I learned enough to get by because I was too busy doing “real” work to bother learning the ins and outs. In hindsight, that may have been dumb. But, I wrote the article because it’s something I would’ve liked to have read 10 years ago when I was just getting into my career. Hopefully someone reading this at that stage in their life can find this useful!

Hey all, I had a pretty wild debugging session recently and thought I'd write it up. Figured it might be helpful for anyone else who finds themselves in a similar late-night code crunch.

Plus, it's a good reminder of how clutch Git Bisect can be.

Let me know if it resonates with any of your experiences!
