I got into programming by making addons and maps for Garry’s Mod in Lua. That led to software classes in high school, computer science in college, and building tools for my coworkers at HP, which is when I realized I wanted to do this full time. Boise CodeWorks turned that into a career in web development.
My rule is simple: if I want something and it doesn’t exist, or costs too much, I build it. That’s how I ended up shaping and glassing my own eFoil with zero foiling experience, welding its battery pack, and designing the next version as code that draws its own CNC plans. I rarely know how to do the thing when I start. I figure it out on the way, with a keyboard, a 3D printer or a sheet of fiberglass.
When I’m not building, I’m out on the water at Lucky Peak, playing ping pong or video games, reading science fiction, or hanging out with my cat , who I rescued off the street as a kitten.
What I’ve been working on
Most of my free time goes into side projects, and this is the running record from GitHub. Claude Code does a lot of the typing these days, while I decide what to build and test everything.
Live from GitHub
Includes private work repos. Updated hourly.
I built my own electric hydrofoil.
An eFoil is a surfboard with an electric motor on a hydrofoil wing, so it lifts off the water and flies a couple of feet above it. I started with zero foiling experience and only hand tools. I shaped and glassed the board, welded the battery pack, printed the propeller, and tuned the motor controller from my own ride logs.
I logged the whole build on foil.zone, the DIY eFoil forum, where experienced builders helped shape it, and kept detailed build notes along the way.
Designed in code. Drag it to look around.
V2 is a parametric Blender model that generates its own CNC drawings, cutting patterns, fiberglass templates and a fully sourced bill of materials. Change one dimension and every document updates with it. This is the real model, straight from the repo.

Co-op VR submarine game
A 1–4 player co-op VR game in Godot 4 for PCVR. You crew a diesel-electric submarine, hunt convoys and dodge destroyers, and in crew-versus-crew matches each team sees only its own sonar.
AI game-master assistant for Foundry VTT
An open-source module for running tabletop games: streaming chat that knows your game world, 40+ AI tools for tokens, combat, dice and audio, NPC roleplay and session recaps.
Issue-to-PR coding agents
Label a GitHub issue and a Claude agent works it on my home server and opens a pull request, with budget caps, session recovery and every outcome reported back on the issue.
UI component library
The component library behind the internal apps I build at work. 141 releases on npm, used by 6 apps.
Lead web developer at Brown & Root
I build the internal software that a 10,000-person industrial contractor runs on, from payroll and timekeeping to job-site safety, working directly with the people who use it.
