GitHub Sponsors Profile

I'm a self-taught software & DevOps engineer with a passion for producing high quality solutions to real-world problems. I pick up new languages and ecosystems quickly and I am always learning!
I work on making wholesome video games and source-available game tooling at Katharos Technology.
Most of my Open Source contributions are in the 🦀 Rust ecosystem, including:

Fish Folk: Jumpy tactical 2D shooter: Technical director and primary developer.
WGPU: Helped implement WebGL2 support, which was used in the Bevy game engine.
egui: Added the option to specify texture filters so you can display pixel art, and implemented custom paint-callbacks for WGPU.
Bones Framework: An easy-to-use game engine for making real games.

You can also solicit my help for an Open Source project by creating a gig on my GitHub repo. My specialties are:

Building modern web applications with Vue.js and Quasar

I also know how to target Desktop platforms with Tauri

Programming in Rust
DevOps, automation, and general problem solving
Writing technical documentation that is approachable by beginners

Sponsorship will help me continue learning and working on open source or source-available projects in an effort make the internet more free ( as in freedom ), to help people, and maybe share some fun with wholesome video games and tools to make them. 😃 🎮
