Well done!

You mention the point is to make it portable. Does the project have any other goals, like, what kind of games could be made with it, how fast does it need to be? Do you have any performance metrics to share?

Performance boosts and metrics I do intend to look into, in particular acceleration structures (probably a BVH?) for the ray tracer and more optimized methods (e.g. a better scanline triangle fill and some clipping algos) for the rasterizer.

As for portability, not sure yet, this is meant to more or less be a rendering/animation engine that is lightweight, probably portable to embedded processors like ESP32s?
