Hello there!

ABOUT ME

I’m a web developer who likes to write game systems code in my spare time.

Currently, I am learning about physics while building the chsl physics engine.

Outside of the terminal I like to play cards, go on walks, and draw.

PROJECTS

Chsl

  • Rust
  • Dependency-free!

My plan is to make a game composed primarily of code written by me and to do that I needed to roll my own physics.

That is why I am creating Chsl, a 2D rigidbody physics library currently supporting polygons, circles, and constraints.

Pixili

  • ReactJS
  • CanvasAPI

Pixili was my answer to the difficulties of compiling Aseprite from source (no disrespect I still like Asprite more).

The software includes basic features like the “paint bucket” tool, drawing lines, and switching colors, and more complex features like layers and undo.

Watchdog

  • ReactJS
  • Framer Motion
  • OpenAI API
  • Web Speech API
  • TailwindCSS
  • Flask

Watchdog was created for StarterHacks under 48 hours our project was titled “Most Promising” hack.

Watchdog is software we made to give you an indicator as to how likely a call is to be scam.

HACKATHONS

Scrapyard Toronto

This was an interesting and fun time I might write a blog on it at some point. For now I'll note that I came from scrapyard brampton which merged with toronto.

I did dev work for both scrapyard brampton and toronto and made an email bot that raised $200 using google apps script which I learned from a workshop at either Hawkhacks or GDSC its hard to say which one though because they were 1 week apart.

Both were very fun though.

Hawk Hacks

I had a great time at hawk hacks. I threw up eating noodles, stayed up late working with my buddies, and bragged about not drinking monster.

Our project was dev-stats which compiled metrics from github and created a profile you could use to determine whether you thought someone would be a good fit for your hackathon team. We went overboard and included a feature which encoded all the data into the url which pushed us really close to the deadline.

Overall, between that and the corndog place 10/10 experience.

Starter Hacks

At StarterHacks, we built a GPT-wrapper, but you know what? It turned out pretty good. Initially, we were contemplating different themes like environment, education, ect, but me and my friend, having previously watched a pleasant green video, came to scammers.

My favorite part was the UI partly because I primarily worked on it but also I liked it because the red highlight text plus the audio visualization gave it hacker vibes. The food was also amazing. The only complaint is we have not recieved any updates on prizes. I should probably mention we won "Most Promising."
