About me

Murray MacLarty

I'm a frontend developer based in Cape Town,South Africa, I build things for the sake of building them — the goal is getting it to work, not what it does after.

Recently I've been exploring generative art and AI-assisted creativity. Building this site is my way of exploring these topics.
