🧑🚀 Hello, Welcome to My Portfolio!
I'm a CompTIA A+ certified technologist who blends IT support, automation & scripting, and creative development. Think of me as a generalist with spikes: adaptable across roles, with deep expertise in PowerShell automation, CI/CD workflows, and ergonomic tooling. From publishing modules to building open-world RPG systems, I thrive on making technology accessible, reliable, and memorable.
☄️ Spotlight: What I'm Proud Of
🐈⬛ powerCat — A Single‑Shot Concatenator
This is my flagship project: a published PowerShell module on the PowerShell Gallery with active users. It represents everything I value—clean code, real utility, and thoughtful design.
What It Does: Bundles source code and documentation into one clean, shareable file—perfect for recruiters, collaborators, or LLM ingestion. Solves a real problem I faced daily.
Why It Matters: Demonstrates the ability to ship working products, write maintainable code, and support real users. Not a learning project—a working tool.
Key Achievements: Published to official gallery · Comprehensive Pester test suite · CI/CD pipeline with GitHub Actions · Multiple ergonomic aliases · Documented for end users
Built with: PowerShell · Pester (automated tests) · GitHub Actions (CI/CD) · GitHub Pages (documentation)

🔬 Currently Working On
⚔️ Battle Tactics Arena: Refactored & Remastered
Status: Active Refactoring & Architecture Redesign
A 2D turn-based tactical RPG transformed from a messy prototype into production-quality code. Originally built as a class project in a single monolithic file, now being rebuilt to showcase professional architecture, clean code practices, and modular design patterns.
Architectural Evolution: Demonstrates transformation from legacy code (single file with globals) to a maintainable, data-driven system with:
- Encapsulated entities and game state
- Registry and factory patterns
- Clear separation of concerns
- State machine for game flow
- Data-driven design for extensibility
Documentation Focus: This project is documented as a learning resource. Includes:
-
AGENT.md: Deep-dive architecture guide explaining every design decision -
DEVLOG.md: Detailed refactoring journey (what changed and why) - Inline comments explaining non-obvious code and patterns
- Git history telling the story of the refactor
Great for code review, portfolio evaluation, and teaching others.
Current Focus: Finalizing entity architecture, implementing advanced battle mechanics (AI, pathfinding), and ensuring all systems are extensible for future features.
Built with: Lua · LÖVE2D · State machines · Data-driven design · Modular architecture · Git (professional practices)
