I build decision tools for a living, which usually means forecasting workflows and dashboards that help a team pick between two reasonable options when the data only half agrees. The rest of the time I make small things for my own desk, like a record picker that reads my Discogs collection and a patch loader for a Polyend Endless pedal. This site is the shelf for both.
I came in through branch operations and regulated financial-services analytics, went from there to digital product analytics at Capital One, and landed in decision science at Disney Parks & Resorts. The part I still like best is building the thing rather than only specifying it.
Record collecting is where most of the design language on this site comes from, and it turns out to be good practice for the day job too, because a deep catalog is really just a messy dataset with better cover art. Cataloging my own shelf is how I ended up writing half the tools sitting on it.
Front-bin projects, polished enough to hand someone first.
Charted CurrentsAn exploratory atlas of the maritime Greater Caribbean, 1650-1730. Every claim on the map traces back to the archival record behind it, and the gaps stay visible.Historical data
Networked PlayersAn evidence-first music-credit graph and browser game. Four playable modes over a 217-album catalog, where every connection between two records names the credits that prove it.Data product
Discogs SpinnerA local-first desktop, web and CLI companion for browsing and spinning a personal Discogs collection. Installs in one command via the Snap Store or Winget, with direct downloads for every desktop OS.Collection tools
Pirate ArcadeA pirate-themed arcade collection and build journal exploring zero-cost AI-assisted development. Five games, four in Python and Pygame, plus the browser-native Race to Treasure Island.Workbench game
Record Collection AnalyticsA sanitized snapshot of collection trends by genre and decade, without exposing private inventory data.Data visualization
Personal Website RevivalA recovered and rebuilt static site for writing, portfolio work, and long-running experiments.Publishing systemRecent changes from projects on the workbench.
Expanded the playable catalog from 179 to 217 albums while moving roster-band selection rules out of documentation and into the build path.
Connected Charted Currents directly to the Prize Papers record through a documentary thread grounded in the Nationaal Archief catalog.
Built a staged Kraken encounter for Kraken's Wake, then simplified its arrival into one clear gameplay beat instead of a stack of competing effects.
Public tools, lab experiments, and recovered builds from the back-room shelf.
Networked PlayersAn evidence-first music-credit graph and browser game over a 217-album Discogs-derived catalog. Python/DuckDB pipeline streams the CC0 monthly dumps into versioned Parquet and static JSON artifacts; the Astro front end ships four playable modes with no UI framework and no live API.View on GitHub
