i like shipping things fast, running long distances slowly, and finding the fun in hard problems.
| Project | What it is | Code |
|---|---|---|
| 🖱️ Jev Computer Use | computer use for ~$0.0002 a step — OCR the screen, classify the next action with TypeSafe, click | repo |
| 🎵 Bop Quiz | party name-that-tune — one big screen plays the song, everyone races to name it from their phone | repo |
| 🧑🍳 Opencooked | co-op kitchen chaos — your laptop is the console, every phone in the room is a controller | repo |
| 🗣️ Spoken Text | react component that reads your text aloud and lights up each word as it's spoken | repo |
| 🏡 Dillow | daily real-estate price-guessing game — guess the home's price in 5 tries | repo |
| 🍲 Potlucky | coordinate potlucks without the "i'll bring napkins" problem | repo |
| Project | What it is |
|---|---|
| 🌽 Cornhole Fiesta | automated cornhole scoring from OpenCV computer vision, wired to custom Linux kernel drivers for the stepper motor, accelerometer, and 7-segment display |
| 🕹️ DDR on Cortex‑M4 | dance dance revolution as bare-metal C firmware on a TI Tiva LaunchPad — hand-rolled drivers for the LCD, EEPROM, capacitive touch, and PS/2 controller |
| 🖥️ WiscArchitecture | a CPU built from scratch in Verilog on a custom ISA — grew from single-cycle to a 5-stage pipeline with full forwarding and a 2-way set-associative LRU cache, plus a matching assembler |
| 🔢 Digit Recognizer | a feedforward neural net written from scratch in Java — backpropagation, sigmoid activations, and a tunable hidden layer, trained to read handwritten digits 0–9 off raw bitmaps |
- 🏃 type 2 fun enthusiast — ran the taco bell 50k
- 🎲 will never turn down a board game night or a potluck
"ship it and learn" — i'd rather build something imperfect today than plan something perfect forever.
