🧑🚀 The Intentional Builder
I am a Brooklyn-based technologist specializing in the "pipes" of a system—the underlying architecture, automation, and data integrity that make software stable. My background in the humanities drives my focus on clear education and architectural restraint. Whether building ECS-based game engines or engineering AI auardrails, I prioritize clarity and accessibility above all else.
☄️ Spotlight: Systems Architecture
🐈⬛ 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.
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
Status: Active Refactoring & Architecture Redesign
A 2D turn-based tactical RPG utilizing a custom-built ECS game engine framework. Originally built as a class project in a single monolithic file, now being refactored into production-quality code.
Architectural Evolution: Demonstrates transformation from legacy code (single file with globals) to a maintainable ECS pattern to decouple game state from logic, ensuring high-performance data processing and modular system design.
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)
