ann arbor, mi let's build something clever. or artsy. ooh, or both!
the fun stuff
- pathfinder 2e rules nerd, but not a GM.
- being a cat dad is the best way to make pull requests interesting.
- gaymer — I value queer representation in games and the communities that build around them.
- secret future: coven initiate.
what I build
- desktop-first business and hobby apps (WPF / MAUI)
- robust backend services and T-SQL-heavy data work
- game tools and hobbyist tooling for TTRPG communities
- developer-focused utilities that save time and headaches
typical tech stack
- Languages: C#, C++
- UI: WPF, MAUI, light HTML/CSS
- Datastores: SQL Server
- Learning: React, Azure
- Other: unit testing, event messaging
my career
- Experience: 10+ years .NET engineering across various industries.
- Current role: Senior Consultant at a tax & audit professional services firm.
- Core strengths: C#, .NET 8+, WPF/MAUI, Entity Framework Core, desktop architecture and design patterns.
- Background highlight: early C++ game development → long career shipping .NET desktop apps and tooling.
- Typical contributions: feature design, refactors that reduce tech debt, performant database patterns, pragmatic test coverage.
- Delivery style: iterative shipping via idempotent PRs.
- Looking for: interesting side projects, tooling challenges, and TTRPG-adjacent hacks.
Here are a couple of projects I follow and respect — big inspirations for tooling and community work:
- ffxiv-teamcraft — a community-built companion app for Final Fantasy XIV that brings crafting, tracking, and convenience to players.
- foundryvtt/pf2e — the Pathfinder 2e system for Foundry Virtual Tabletop; excellent reference for integrating complex RPG rules into tooling.
All contact happens on GitHub: open an issue, start a discussion, or submit a PR and I'll respond.
Bring snacks to meetings — clear issue descriptions help too.
