Projects

Personal

I don’t really plan these projects in advance. Most of them start out as small ideas and grow into something bigger than I could imagine. These are just the highlights, to see all of my projects go to my GitHub. The newer ones are 1000x better than the older ones but they’re all my babies. I love all of them equally.

• Ironmind - 2024
  • Esoteric Language interpreter and code execution visualizer.
  • Written in Rust and available on crates.io, snap, and homebrew
  • Over 10,000 downloads so far :D
  • This started as a joke. It was just me wanting to dip my toes into the world of ownership-model memory management and Rust as a whole. I ended up making something that is pretty robust and something I’m proud of.
• Opium.press - 2022-23
  • A platform for writers to share ideas and opinions
  • Written in PHP using the Symfony framework
  • Hosted on Google Cloud
  • Made shortly after I graduated high school. My hobby of journaling turned into a full obsession with writing. It started off with me writing one-off album reviews when I was in class but evolved into me wanting to share them with the world. I wanted to make a platform for writers, that didn’t focus on viewer retention and addiction. There’s a lot more lore to this one you can read it here
• Penny - 2021-22
  • AES256 encrypted journaling desktop app
  • Written in Javascript using Electron
  • During the pandemic, I got super into journaling but I always had a fear of someone reading my journal. This was the solution. This was also around the same time I started taking data privacy seriously and built my first Linux desktop machine.
• Scripty - 2019-20
  • Simple text editor with support for Python, Javascript, and Java
  • Written in Python
  • I made this because my first computer was a Chromebook that I promptly installed Linux on when I was a freshman in high school. There’s even an old YouTube video I made from around that time explaining how to install Linux on a Chromebook. Because of the hardware limitations, my only option for writing code was using Nano or Vim. Scripty was a huge step up from that. Yes, parts of Scripty were written using itself.
