Stuff I've made
A running list of some things I've made.
Storytimebox
A screen-free podcast player for my five-year-old. Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W, an I2S amp, three buttons, a small LCD. Loads new episodes of Storytime with Dad nightly via RSS. About thirty dollars in parts versus the two-hundred-dollar commercial alternatives. Sealed up in the playroom now. Kids love it.
Hunter's Chronicles
An interactive story game for my son that only really makes sense if you're him. He runs it on a screen in the kitchen, presses keys on a USB number pad, and works his way through a story I wrote around the things he's into. Not a product. A one-kid game.
Mars Trail
Like Oregon Trail, but on Mars. You outfit an expedition, set out, and mostly die on the surface — on purpose, just like the original. It started as me wondering how ready we really are to live on another planet, and turned into the first game I've ever made.
ResumeHelper
A tool I built for my own job search. It scores my background against any job posting I throw at it and tells me where the gaps are and how strong a match it actually is. I run it on every interesting role I find before I click apply.
