As a Computer Science student, I spend my time exploring cool tech by building projects I'm genuinely interested in, and by making tools to automate the boring parts of life. When I'm not coding, I'm often writing about D&D.
A D&D 5e character sheet built for the table - cloud-synced, beautiful, and automated just enough to keep the game fun. Sheets can be shared across parties.
A full-stack real-time messaging app - direct and group chat, typing indicators, read/unread tracking - built as a standalone reference implementation.
A JJK-inspired afterimage vision pipeline for a robotics-course robot - real-time pose tracking, segmentation, and compositing.
A macOS menu bar app showing live Claude Code session and weekly usage - my first Swift project, and an end to typing /usage.
A drag-and-drop kanban board with per-user boards and ownership-enforced access control - built to get comfortable with Django before a coursework assignment.
A D&D homebrew feature that encourages roleplay with the gods by rewarding those of a pious nature with divine favour.

Read the note →The sustaining and radiant light of the Sun illuminates this D&D 5e Druid subclass I designed for one of my players.
Read the note →An exploration of the challenges of running a very large party; the elusive art of keeping everyone engaged (not guaranteed).
