Projects

Most of my projects have been private for companies. Here are a couple of projects that I can share

Flappy Bird AI

This project I did while I was in school. It's a neural network, that through mutation, learns to play the game Flappy Bird. Check it out here!

Random Region Generator

This project was initially a commission for the YouTube Channel Pen & Blade. Over the years, I applied new found knowledge, improving both code and design. The newest version, which was released late 2024, can be found here.

Staticz Ruby Gem

Staticz is a tool I wrote to modernize and simplify static website development. It leverages ruby based templates like haml, and combines it with more modern css compilers like sass. This is public and updated every once in a while. In fact, this website was built with Staticz! Check it out!

Markdown Stream Formatter Ruby Gem

This gem was written for easy formatting of markdown streams in the terminal. It is helpful for example for a custom OpenAI API integration. You can find it on rubygems.org.

StreamPICO

The StreamPICO project uses the Pimoroni RGB Keypad together with a Raspberry Pi Pico to create a DIY StreamDeck. The project includes both code for the microcontroller and a web app for easy configuration generation.

About Me

Hello! I am a passionate Software Engineer with six years of professional experience and nearly a decade and a half of coding for fun. I am aRuby, Ruby on Rails and full-stack web development expert, creating robust solutions that result in business success and enhance user experience.

I began programming at an early age and turned my hobby into a successful career. This lifelong fascination with technology is reflected in my work and continuing education. I pride myself on being able to resolve challenging problems and develop elegant, scalable solutions.

Outside of the world of coding, I am an avid gamer and Dungeons & Dragons player, which sharpens my strategic thinking and storytelling skills, qualities that I bring with me into my professional work. I'm also a keen skater, as I find it's an excellent method of clearing my head and inspiring creativity. I read, both the latest technology publications as well as fantasy epics, to stay informed and creative.

I'm looking forward to meeting other tech enthusiasts and potential collaborators who are passionate about creating innovative software solutions. You can reach me via LinkedIn if you want to discuss how we can work together or just to share some knowledge about the latest in tech and games.
