I build developer tools, game engines, and open source infrastructure.

01

about

I write software that ships. My work spans developer tooling, game engine internals, and web infrastructure. I build in Go, TypeScript, Python, and Lua, and I contribute to open source projects that people actually use.

When I solve a problem, I publish the solution. When existing tools fall short, I build better ones. That approach has led to 50k+ downloads, recognition across international hackathons, and a portfolio of tools used by developers worldwide.
