I'm a self-taught software & DevOps engineer with a passion for producing high quality solutions to real-world problems. I pick up new languages and ecosystems quickly and I am always learning!

I work on making wholesome video games and source-available game tooling at Katharos Technology.

Most of my Open Source contributions are in the 🦀 Rust ecosystem, including:

  • Fish Folk: Jumpy tactical 2D shooter: Technical director and primary developer.
  • WGPU: Helped implement WebGL2 support, which was used in the Bevy game engine.
  • egui: Added the option to specify texture filters so you can display pixel art, and implemented custom paint-callbacks for WGPU.
  • Bones Framework: An easy-to-use game engine for making real games.

You can also solicit my help for an Open Source project by creating a gig on my GitHub repo. My specialties are:

  • Building modern web applications with Vue.js and Quasar
    • I also know how to target Desktop platforms with Tauri
  • Programming in Rust
  • DevOps, automation, and general problem solving
  • Writing technical documentation that is approachable by beginners

Sponsorship will help me continue learning and working on open source or source-available projects in an effort make the internet more free ( as in freedom ), to help people, and maybe share some fun with wholesome video games and tools to make them. 😃 🎮

What I'm Working On

I'll update this section as I work on different things to show what I'm spending my time on.

Video Games

Contributions to Open Source Projects:

Developing Fish Fokl: Jumpy, a pixel-style, competitive 2D shooter.

Bounty Bros.

I'm also working on Bounty Bros., a Legend of Zelda® inspired, story-driven mini-game.

🧪 Experimental

These are highly experimental and may not come to anything.

HGE: High Order Game Engine

I'm working on some game engine design experiments, testing out the new, blazing fast HVM runtime. Find out more by reading my new blog series. I'll be creating posts with my progress as I go.
