Projects
A collection of things I've built, end to end, on my own — along with the skills behind each one.
Frutgam3
Skill: Game Developer
I built two complete video games entirely from scratch — Frutgam3 is one of them, a fruit-matching puzzle game you can play right now in your web browser, no download required.
Unlike most beginner projects that follow a tutorial step by step, this was designed and coded independently, including the engine that makes it run. Building a game means solving dozens of problems at once — graphics, timing, controls, and game logic all have to work together perfectly. Getting it to run smoothly in a browser, on any device, takes a particularly advanced level of skill.

Snake
Skill: Game Developer
The second of my two complete games — a from-scratch take on the classic Snake game, also free to play in any browser with nothing to install.
Like Frutgam3, this wasn't built on top of someone else's game engine. I wrote the whole thing myself, the same way a builder might construct a house from the foundation up rather than assembling a kit.
Custom WebAssembly Toolkit
Skill: Graphics Programmer
To get my games to run in a web browser, I had to build my own custom software toolkit — the behind-the-scenes machinery that translates game code into something a browser can actually display.
Most developers rely entirely on pre-built tools for this. I built mine from the ground up. It's roughly the same as a carpenter who doesn't just build the furniture, but forges their own tools to do it.

Text Painter
Skill: Software Engineer
A practical tool I built that converts plain text into formatted markup, making other people's work easier.
This reflects a professional philosophy of "keep it simple": rather than building something complicated, I find the core problem and solve exactly that, nothing more. This kind of restraint is widely seen as a sign of maturity in professional software development.

Lazy Infographic
Skill: Data Visualization Engineer
A tool I built that automatically generates clean, readable visual reference cards for keyboard shortcuts — turning raw information into a polished, useful graphic with no manual design work needed.
This is a broader skill in taking complicated information and presenting it so it's instantly understandable — useful in any role that involves reporting, dashboards, or explaining data to people who aren't technical.

Black Magic in D
Skill: Systems Programmer
While most programmers work with high-level tools that hide the inner workings of a computer, I work close to the "metal" — writing code in languages like D and C++ that interact directly with the hardware.
This documentation site is proof of that depth: it covers behavior in the D programming language that wasn't written down anywhere else. I had to discover it myself by testing, the way a mechanic figures out an engine problem nobody's seen before. Think of it as the difference between driving a car and knowing how to rebuild the engine — a rarer and more valuable skill.

Dingbats
Skill: Technical Educator & Open Source Contributor
I published a free, 36-exercise course teaching the D programming language to other programmers, and put it online for anyone to use.
Other developers found it and used it on their own — nobody told them to. That kind of organic adoption is a strong signal that the material is genuinely useful, not just something I made for myself.

Distributed & Big Data Coursework
Skill: Big Data & Distributed Systems
I completed coursework in handling massive amounts of data — the kind too large to process on a single computer. This covered Scala (a programming language built for this purpose) and a method called MapReduce, which is the same basic approach companies like Google use to process huge amounts of information quickly by splitting the work across many computers at once.

Data Science & Python
Skill: Data Scientist
I completed coursework in Python, one of the most widely used programming languages in the world, focused specifically on working with data — gathering it, cleaning it up, analyzing it, and turning it into charts and graphs people can understand at a glance.
Hardware & Embedded Systems
Skill: Electronics & Robotics
I've done hands-on work building and programming real physical electronics and robotics — not just simulations on a screen. This means wiring up circuits and writing code that controls physical motors, sensors, and devices, then troubleshooting when the real world doesn't behave the way the instructions said it would.
CompTIA A+ Certification
Skill: Certified IT Technician
I hold a CompTIA A+ certification, one of the most widely recognized entry-level credentials in the entire IT industry, covering computer hardware, operating systems, troubleshooting, and basic cybersecurity.
This is a standardized, proctored exam — not a certificate of attendance — and proves verified, tested knowledge of how computers and networks actually work.
