Indie Developer

Ever since I was a kid I loved video games. It's what got me interested in computers and what made me pursue a degree in Computer Science. So a few years ago I took it upon myself to learn Unity and published my first game to the Android App Store. I'm always working on side projects and learning new things with them.

Meteor Madness

Meteor Madness is a simple, hyper-casual game. Use your finger to move the player left or right in order to avoid falling meteors. Occasionally they'll drop gems or power-ups for you to collect.

D20 Dice Roller

Forgot your dice? No problem!
Roll all the basic dice for easy rolls. Use the calculator to roll RPG notations. Save common rolls for later. Even roll special DM dice for alignment, class, race, and more!

This was my first project using Unity. I used it to learn the tool and was able to build and publish it in only two months. I went on to learn Unity's ML plugins and taught an AI to play the game. This can be found in my LinkedIn.

This was my first project using React Native. I kept the design simple but added some features like DM dice that I knew I would use in my D&D games.

BADwordle

BADwordle is a wordle clone using only HTML, CSS, and Javascript...only every answer is a bad word.

EpicLootz

This is a website I created to post all my homebrew D&D content. It's full of creative generators, tables, and maps for your next RPG adventure!

This is one of many variants of Wordle I made when I got obsessed with the NYT game. I started with an open source repo someone had created and made several modifications for it to fit my needs.

This is a reactJS app I created to accompany my @epiclootz instagram. All the content (both for the site and instagram) is generated using ChatGPT and all the images are generated using Stable Diffusion. It's also a full PWA.

Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.
