Now

I will be at RenderATL from Tuesday, June 10 - Saturday, June 14 — be sure to say hello!

💼 Work

I am currently working part-time at a consulting agency called Ziva Tech where I am a Frontend Engineer — though my main job there is “making things pretty” as per the owner. I work with HTML, CSS, JavaScript, React, and Tailwind CSS with a React Native project on the horizon.

That said, I am very much looking for a full-time position where I can continue to grow my skills and contribute to a team that values collaboration and innovation. If you or anyone you know is hiring please contact me!

💻 Projects

In the ongoing effort to improve my skills, I’ve got a couple of side-projects in the works; Cadence and Raider.IO+.

Cadence aims to be a browser homepage, similar to Momentum, if you remember when that was all the rage. Cadence was inspired by this post on X/Twitter and I knew that I just had to create it once I saw it. It’s very much a WIP (work-in-progress) but I look forward to getting the MVP complete after RenderATL so I can start using it.

Raider.IO+ is a project that aims to be a lighter, faster, and more minimal version of Raider.IO. It is also a WIP (work-in-progress) but since Raider.IO provides their API for free, all I have to do is ensure I’m getting the information I want and decide how to display it.

Raider.IO is a service for World of Warcraft players to showcase and track their performance in various in-game events, like dungeons and raids. However, their site is slow, riddled with ads, and could use some sprucing up, in my opinion.

🎮 Video Games

I’ve been working through the Final Fantasy VII Remake, raiding in World of Warcraft twice per week, and playing the occasional matches of Helldivers 2, Crab Champions, and now Splitgate 2 since it released on June 6.

I’ve also really been enjoying some Pokemon ROM hacks like Pokemon Gaia and Pokemon Unbound.
