Andrew P. Alderete
Andrew holds 8 concurrent executive and technical roles at CineConcerts — spanning brand strategy, web development, mobile apps, e-commerce, XR production, AI systems, video editing, and content creation — while co-founding two startups. He published peer-reviewed microbiology research before graduating high school, studied particle physics at CERN at 16, helped produce $2B+ in global box office alongside Dana Brunetti, then built the entire digital infrastructure for a company reaching 5 million fans across 48 countries. Not sequential. Simultaneous.

[SIGNAL ANALYSIS // EXPERIMENTAL RENDERS]
Real-time WebGL experiments built with Three.js. Each scene runs as a self-contained render pipeline — generative geometry, particle systems, shader-driven visuals, and mathematical art. Interactive: move your cursor to influence the simulations.
● LIVE -- FPS
[EXPERIMENT 001]
Neural Mesh
Triple-layered icosphere deformed by 4-octave fractal noise. 2,000 particles orbit in a luminous halo around a pulsing core — a digital organism breathing in the void.
FBM NOISE PARTICLES WIREFRAME
● LIVE -- FPS
[EXPERIMENT 002]
Data Stream
6,000 color-pulsing particles cascade through fog-drenched space past vertical light columns. Color-coded data rain — cyan, green, and red signals falling through the grid.

[EXPERIMENT 003]
Void Tunnel
60 morphing ring segments with 1,500 speed-streak particles rushing past. Hue-shifting chromatic geometry and pulsing scale create an infinite warp corridor.

[EXPERIMENT 004]
Fractal Orbit
20 icosahedra in multi-axis orbital paths, each painting 80-point luminous trails through fog. A pulsing stellar core anchors the gravitational ballet of six-color platonic solids.

Signal Wave
Triple-layer plasma terrain driven by 5 overlapping sine frequencies. 1,200 floating particles drift above color-shifting topography — a living waveform landscape.

8,000 particles in a galactic disc formation, gravitationally bound to 4 orbiting singularities. Magenta, cyan, and orange streams swirl into emergent spiral arms.

Strange Attractor
3,000 particles tracing Lorenz equations through chaotic phase space. Butterfly wings emerge from deterministic chaos — each trajectory diverging from near-identical initial conditions.
LORENZ CHAOS THEORY 3K TRAILS

Frequency Domain
128-band spectrum analyzer driving concentric ring geometry. Simulated audio frequencies pulse through layered cylindrical bars — bass in the core, treble at the edges.

Topology
Möbius strip parametric surface with 800 particles flowing along the single-sided manifold. A mathematical paradox rendered in neon wireframe — one surface, one edge, infinite loop.

Emergence
12³ cellular automata grid evolving 3D Conway rules. Cubes spawn and decay in emergent patterns — complexity arising from 4 simple survival thresholds.

Real-time ray marching through signed distance fields. 4 morphing metaballs rendered entirely in fragment shader — no geometry, pure mathematics visualized as liquid chrome.

Dual-strand molecular visualization with 40 base pair rungs. Phosphate backbones spiral through space while nucleotide bridges pulse in sequence — biology as architecture.

Gray-Scott reaction-diffusion system evolving Turing patterns in real-time. Two virtual chemicals feed and kill across a 256² grid — spots, stripes, and coral emerge from pure mathematics.
