👋 About
Senior software engineer with 6+ years building software across web, mobile, desktop, and games. I care about clean object-oriented design, pragmatic architecture, and shipping things that actually work.
My background mainly spans JavaScript, Node.js, and C#/.NET. On the side I've dabbled in game programming with Unity and Godot, and explored Rust as a hobby.

🚀 Projects
🐻 BanjoChatooie
A mod for Banjo-Kazooie: Recompiled that pipes Twitch chat into the game — messages show in a corner panel, and viewers can make any of 60+ characters say them through the original 1998 text boxes and voice grunts.

🎨 animation-auto-tagger
An Aseprite extension: drop a character's frame files in and get one sprite with a tagged, ordered timeline, ready for Godot. Reimporting a redrawn animation replaces the matching tag instead of piling up layers.
