Games

Things you can actually play with. They run in the browser with nothing to install and no account to make — open one and go.

Game

Flora

A seeded generative art system with its knobs exposed. Six families of artwork derived from a word alone - the same seed always draws the same picture, and the URL carries it, so an image is something you can pass around.

Planets

A word becomes a world. Every planet is the same sphere at the same radius, so its character is derived rather than drawn: the orbit sets the temperature, the temperature decides what atmosphere survives, and the atmosphere decides what can live there. Every plant and animal is grown from that - no template library, so nothing flies on a world with no air and cold worlds run to bulkier bodies. Land on it and walk around; occasionally somebody is already there.

Skip

Stone skipping with the real contact physics: every bounce is solved from the wetted area of a tilted disc against the wave it actually hit, so the twenty-degree optimum, the effect of spin and the curve off your throwing hand are results rather than rules.

Game

Cairn

Stack stones into a cairn by finding the face that sits on the face below. Every stone is measured, and every joint in the tower is checked against the weight above it - so the collapse is arithmetic, not a script.

Game

Infinite Mines

Mine-clearing on a board with no edges. The classic rules, no win screen, and a shareable picture of how far you got before one wrong click.

Game

Endless Maze

An infinite procedurally generated maze that carves itself as you walk north. Hit dead ends, never get truly stuck, and export your route as an image.

Game

Snow Free

A small snow-clearing game that exists mostly because it was easy to make. Built in its own repo and stitched into this site at deploy time.

The LLM Sorting Hat

Answer a handful of questions and find out which AI model you are. Sorts you into a house, explains itself, and hands you a shareable card at the end.

Trigonometry Wars

A fast-paced Geometry Wars clone that plays properly on a phone. Twin-stick shooting rebuilt around touch, running entirely in a canvas.

Collaborative Fridge Magnets

A fridge door anyone can rearrange. Drag letters and postcards around and watch other people move them in real time over a public WebSocket relay.

WebSockets JavaScript Astro

Digital Zen Garden

Rake patterns into the sand and smooth them away whenever you like. Built to relax, and it taught me most of what I know about HTML canvas.

Internal Developer Portal - CODE.VA.GOV

Led the development and launch of a Catalog Of Developer Essentials (CODE) as a 'best in government' internal developer portal that standardized software delivery pipelines and improved developer experience across the Department of Veterans Affairs. Contained self-service guides to common shared services and tools, and provided a 'Golden Path' template for developers to quickly deploy new applications with hundreds of cataloged APIs.
