Visual Showcase
Currently Working On
Vanguard & Flank
- A 2D turn-based tactical RPG utilizing a custom-built ECS framework within Godot. 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 utilizing Lua and the Love2D framework) to a maintainable ECS pattern to decouple game state from logic, ensuring high-performance data processing and modular system design.
- Built with: Godot · GDScript · Inkscape
Project Showcase
Projects
HyperFix.nvim — Curated Neovim Distribution
- Developed and maintained Neovim distribution emphasizing discoverability, low-friction workflows, and mnemonic keybinding design.
- Unified editor, terminal, AI tooling, and development workflows into a cohesive Linux-first environment using Lua and modern Neovim plugins.
- Built with WCAG AAA compliance and designed specifically to reduce cognitive load for neurodivergent developers.
BacMac6T — Disaster Recovery Systems Appliance
- Built a high-density, automated backup appliance by integrating a 4TB HDD, two 1TB SSDs, and an industrial USB 3.0 hub into a space-constrained vintage Mac Mini chassis.
- Designed a headless Debian environment utilizing Btrfs immutable snapshots and BorgBackup deduplication over an encrypted zero-trust mesh network powered by Tailscale.
- Installed a custom active cooling system to maintain safe operating temperatures in a densely packed multi-drive enclosure.
StatelessIO — Edge-Deployed Developer Micro-Utilities
StatlessIO is a lightweight, stateless suite of developer APIs deployed on Cloudflare Workers and distributed through RapidAPI.
Modules
- ShiftFS: A serverless path and payload manipulation engine. Handels structure transformations, path formatting, and string normalization at the edge without requiring server-side disk access.
- NullTrace: A data-scrubbing filter. Intercepts incoming payloads and strips sensitive metadata, personal identifiers, and log noise before data touches downstream storage or analytics.
Features
- Zero State Overhead: Eliminates database dependencies and session persistent storage entirely.
- Low Latency: Executed directly at the network edge via Cloudflare Workers.
- Modularity: Isolated JavaScript micro-functions designed to be plugged straight into existing automation or pipeline workflows without bloat.
- Built with: JavaScript · Node.js · Cloudflare Workers · RapidAPI
