Stuff I've made

A running list of things I've made. Most are personal, some are professional, all are mine in the sense that I cared enough to ship them.

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

Oregon Trail set on Mars. Wagon-and-supplies mechanics applied to interplanetary colonization. Part of a larger project I've been chewing on around cultural readiness for living on another planet. Half game, half thought experiment.

Resume Helper

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. The job listings space is full of noise; this one isn't. I run it on every interesting role I find, usually before I even click apply.
