About me

I'm a self-taught full-stack Pythonista with a background in audio and electronics engineering. I write code for a living, with a focus on data acquisition and UI/UX. In my off time I play the guitar, fix things, and make new things. You can learn more about some of my projects below - most of them are open source!


My tecnical areas of interest include (in no particular order) mechanical keyboards, guitar tech, PCB design, MSLA (resin) 3D printing, web dev, game dev, graphic design, and more...


My non-technical areas of interest include Dungeons & Dragons, astronomy and astropyhsics, craft beer, pixel art, linguistics, video games, cooking, and science fiction just to name a few!

Projects

Almost every project starts as an excuse to learn something new or practice something I've learned. Here's what I've been working on lately:


tkfeather

tkfeather is a Python package that alows you to use Cole Bemis' Feather Icons in Python's built-in GUI framework, tkinter. Run pip install tkfeather to try it out!

Lospec Palette Importer

This Aseprite extension allows you to import and use color palettes from Lospec.com. It's available as a "pay what you want" tool on itch.io. If you find it useful, please consider donating to support further development!

Tonegrove

Tonegrove is my brand for guitar effects pedals designed and hand-built by me. My first design, an ultra-clean booster/buffer called "Seedling", is available now. If you're interested, please consider supporting my Reverb shop!

IQS5XX

IQS5XX is a CircuitPython library for the TPS43 and TPS65 trackpad modules from Azoteq (the name comes from the family of interface chips used on those modules!).
