01 · Game · Alpha build

Dragon's Hoard

A cross-platform puzzle roguelike where players match tiles, hatch Dragon Eggs, clear stage targets, buy perks, and push through eight increasingly dangerous lairs.

iOS / Android / Web
  • React Native
  • TypeScript
  • Skia
  • Expo
Read case study

The problem

Combine the immediate clarity of match-3 play with roguelike build variety, limited-move objectives, boss curses, and a progression loop that stays readable on a phone.

My contribution

Built the deterministic puzzle engine, React Native and Skia game board, stage flow, perks, shop, achievements, transitions, mobile builds, and the testing workflow around the core systems.

The outcome

A playable multi-platform alpha with a separately tested game engine, repeatable Android release builds, and a complete run structure ready for continued balance and content work.

Bank Tank

An Android money manager with BML account screen sync, SMS transaction detection, statement imports, animated budget tanks, savings goals, review queues, and analytics.

Android Application
  • Kotlin
  • Android Views
  • SQLite
  • Accessibility
Read case study

The problem

Reduce manual money tracking without a direct bank API while keeping sensitive financial data on-device and making uncertain imports safe to review.

My contribution

Designed and built accessibility-assisted account sync, SMS and CSV ingestion, local persistence, categorization rules, correction flows, budgeting, savings, and session-cached analytics.

The outcome

A privacy-first finance toolkit that unifies scattered banking events, remembers corrections, highlights questionable data, and calculates practical spending guidance.

PayMePls

A local-first Android bill splitter for one-off receipts and multi-day trips, with editable OCR, exact allocations, settlement tracking, and explicit Sharesheet requests.

Android Application
  • Kotlin
  • Jetpack Compose
  • ML Kit
  • Room
Read case study

The problem

Turn imperfect on-device OCR into a trustworthy ledger while supporting shared items, multiple payers, foreign currencies, credits, repayments, and exact settlement math.

My contribution

Built the ML Kit scanning pipeline, editable receipt review, participant and trip flows, deterministic allocation engine, normalized Room ledger, settlement suggestions, and explicit Android sharing flow.

The outcome

A private, inspectable ledger that handles a quick dinner or a multi-day trip, minimizes the transfers needed to settle, and never sends anything without the user's confirmation.

Re-Engineer

A React and Supabase platform for teams to build, version, compare, and export complex service forms with live collaboration, permissions, and complete change history.

Role

Format
Collaborative Web Application
  • React
  • TypeScript
  • Supabase
  • dnd-kit
Read case study

The problem

Let several people evolve large government-service forms without losing field-level rationale, version history, access control, or compatibility with the OneGov Form Builder schema.

My contribution

Built the React workspace, enhanced field editor, drag-and-drop page and field organization, semantic form versions, grouped history and undo, role-based collaboration, live Supabase updates, and OneGov-ready schema export.

The outcome

A working form re-engineering environment where teams can move from draft fields to locked, auditable versions and hand the resulting schema directly into implementation.

govcraft

A TypeScript MCP server exposing 162 typed OneGov tools plus 15 versioned skills covering workflows, forms, DataHub, payments, tasks, templates, documents, and service operations.

MCP Developer Platform
  • TypeScript
  • Node.js
  • MCP
  • REST APIs
Read case study

The problem

Give agents broad operational power without losing tenant awareness, production safeguards, authentication clarity, change history, or the domain playbooks required to use the APIs correctly.

My contribution

Developed typed operations and agent playbooks around the OneGov API surface, including workflow engineering, authentication, diagnostics, backup and restore behavior, and production-write safeguards.

The outcome

A consolidated operations layer where API wiring and domain-specific SOPs travel together, with every request logged and unsafe production mutations blocked by default.

06 · Software · Working extension

Window+

A Chrome and Firefox extension that preserves complete window state in portable links, restores recently closed sessions, and can sync live windows between the user's browsers through private Google Drive app-data.

Role
Creator & Extension Developer
Format
Browser Extension
  • JavaScript
  • WebExtensions
  • Manifest V3
  • Node Test
Read case study

The problem

Preserve complete window semantics across browser families and devices while omitting protected URLs, cleaning stale records, and supporting both extension and browser-neutral restore paths.

My contribution

Designed and built the dependency-free popup and background architecture, deterministic snapshot codec, offline restore page, local archive lifecycle, Google Drive app-data synchronization, cross-browser builds, and automated tests.

The outcome

A cross-browser session tool that can reopen a self-contained link anywhere, recreate the real window when installed, recover qualifying closed windows for seven days, and opt into private cross-device sync without a separate server.
