Software Engineering

I made a first person 3D environment on the web, where the user can walk around, sprint, jump, collect rupees, view my art in a digital upscale museum, see my software projects as if they are physically walking up to them, draw a picture and submit it, with the potential to see it hung up on the wall, interact with an omnipotent and deriding computer from the cartoon 'Courage the Cowardly Dog', Relax in a tranquil forest, or Practice multiplication in a 3D adaptation of 'Meteor Multiplication'.

I wanted this website to feel like a place you could inhabit rather than a page you scroll. Building a fully explorable 3D world pushed my skills across graphics programming, spatial UX, and browser performance. It was fun. Also I wanted it to exist. Isn't that reason enough?

A project tracking tool that helps you conveniently track and understand all the projects you're working on.

I have a lot of infrequent hobbies that I like to switch between. I noticed I was feeling overwhelmed by all the projects I was working on, so I built Passionfruit to help me keep track of them in a way that wouldn't stifle my creativity.

Like that one toy. You can play with it. Hold click and drag on the ball to attract the electricity! Desktop and mobile.

I absolutely adore electricity and wanted to create a 3D environment that allows you to play with it. I've been fascinated with physical phenomena like electricity and magnetism, and how the basis of computers is manipulating an electron using a difference in electromagnetic force to make a transistor, which can be used to make logic gates, which can be used to make circuits, which can be used to make arithmetic logic units. With the inclusion of a clock and memory, you can create an entire computer architecture. On the newly formed computer, you can run programs directly on the hardware (baremetal) using binary instructions written for that computer architecture, or you could write a hardware abstraction layer that transpiles a common higher level language like assembly into the language the computer speaks. You can also write a language that's more readable to coders, that compiles into assembly, which is then translated into instructions for your computer! Using that higher level language, developers can move quickly and develop operating systems for a computer. Operating systems make it easier to write programs for the computer, because they handle the allocation of computer resources (they talk to the computer so your program doesn't have to worry about that). They also provide the illusion of isolation, meaning a software program written for an OS does not know other programs exist, and doesn't need to worry about playing nice with the hundreds of other applications running on the computer. The browser is a program on the OS. And this website is written for the browser! And it's all powered by 100 billion electrons jumping from one side of a microscopic germanium-doped silicon trough to the other.

Convert journal entries into video game quests and live your life like an RPG. This productivity app gamifies your daily life by transforming your goals and activities into quest-like experiences.

I built videogamequest because I wanted to make productivity and journaling more engaging. By framing life events as RPG quests, it adds a layer of fun and motivation to tracking your progress and achieving goals.

An interactive data visualization of Star Wars starship costs from the SWAPI dataset. Explore and compare the price tags of iconic ships across the galaxy — from X-wings to Star Destroyers.

A fun excuse to combine a beloved universe with data viz. Pulling from the Star Wars API and rendering comparative cost breakdowns made for a satisfying mix of frontend charting work and backend data wrangling.

Counter-Strike Highlight Analysis and Organization System. A desktop application that batch processes video game footage and automatically identifies noteworthy moments using machine learning (OCR and Speech-to-Text).

As a Counter-Strike player, I wanted to automatically find and organize my best plays from hours of gameplay footage. Manually scrubbing through videos is tedious, so I built CHAOS to use ML to detect kills, callouts, and other significant moments automatically.

(Requires your own API key, I built this as a proof-of-concept with no backend.) A tool that batch processes product images by sending the same queries to each image in a batch using Large Language Models. Perfect for e-commerce teams analyzing product catalogs at scale.

While working on product analysis tasks, I found myself repeatedly asking the same questions about different images. This tool automates that workflow, allowing teams to analyze entire product catalogs efficiently with custom LLM integrations.

An interactive 3D room inside the holodeck — a retro computer lab environment you can freely explore in the browser. Inspired by the aesthetic of early personal computing.

I wanted to capture the feeling of a classic computer room as an inhabitable space. It was a chance to blend 3D environmental storytelling with web technology in a way that feels nostalgic and playful.

A large-scale 3D museum experience inside the holodeck — a multi-room virtual gallery housing a curated collection you can browse at your own pace.

Scaling up from the art room into a full museum allowed me to think about wayfinding, pacing, and spatial narrative at a larger architectural scale — all within the browser.

boards.saucedog.art

An SRE dashboard for monitoring services, incidents, and logs. Python/Flask backend serves hypermedia via HTMX, while the frontend is built with Lit web components — a native browser standard that's far more capable than most developers realize.

I wanted to explore a stack that leans into the platform instead of abstracting away from it. HTMX lets the server own state and return HTML fragments directly, cutting out a lot of client-side complexity. Lit is what web components always should have been — lightweight, declarative, and framework-agnostic. I don't think enough people know how powerful the native component model has become.

Quick prototype: An intelligent web-based piano that analyzes musical context and suggests harmonically appropriate next notes based on the key you're playing in.

I wanted to create a tool that helps people learn music theory through play. Instead of just showing scales or chords, Smart Piano provides real-time musical guidance, making it easier to create pleasing melodies even if you're not an expert musician.

Sing or play a MIDI keyboard to match scrolling notes as they cross the target line. Uses real-time pitch detection via microphone or MIDI input to score accuracy.

I wanted an interactive way to train pitch accuracy that felt more like a game than an exercise. Building the pitch detection and scrolling note renderer from scratch was a great deep-dive into the Web Audio API.

Super quick prototype: Quiz yourself on what is a Pokemon and what is a Technology.

One day I observed Pokemon and Technology have similar sounding names, so I made this quiz game.

An accessible online routine with dynamic generation of WCAG AAA compliant analogous color schemes.

I wanted to explore algorithmic color theory while building something genuinely useful — a routine tool that generates harmonious, fully accessible palettes on the fly.
