Artist and engineer shipping open-source from Vermont — where the WiFi is spotty but the commit history is clean. I come from a background in Video Game & Interactive Media, which taught me to think about flow, feedback, and systems. That perspective drives everything I build: powerful, polished, and practical tools that help devs ship faster and stay in the flow.

At it since 2013.

• Coco — AI-powered Git assistant for meaningful commits, changelogs, and code review. Your code, your choice of model.
• Doorman — Where W▲F meets .config. Manage Vercel & Cloudflare firewall rules in code with drift detection and CI/CD.
• Strut — Agent-first CLI for deploying Docker stacks anywhere there's SSH. Multi-stack, drift-aware, dry-run everything.
• localPress — Local-compute WordPress media optimization CLI. Compress, convert, remove backgrounds, generate alt-text — all on your hardware.
• Spec Shaver — Trim and curate OpenAPI specs via interactive wizard or programmatically.
• git-scenarios — Composable atoms for spinning up real git repos in any state — merge conflicts, multi-contributor history, in-progress operations. For tests, demos, and tool development.
• humble-bundle-keys — Pull every Steam key out of your Humble Bundle account into a single CSV.

• Fargo Flags — A DX-focused layer for Vercel's Flags SDK with registry distribution and CLI tooling.
• Feature Lock — Upgrade-ready UI building blocks that blur, tease, and convert — without breaking flow.
• Fargo Comments — React commenting system with Lexical editor. Batteries not included — bring your own storage and auth.
• ink-enhanced-select-input — Feature-rich select input for Ink with multi-select, live search, headless hook, vim keys, and more.
• TokenTally — Universal LLM cost calculator, pricing dashboard, and API. Zero API costs to use.
• Placeholder.svg — Easy custom SVG placeholder generation.
• SVG Path Editor — In-browser SVG path editor with AI path generation. Give it a try 🚀
• Git Hash Art — Deterministic abstract art from git commit hashes via Node & Canvas.

• Demos MCP — MCP server exposing the Anti-Authoritarian Toolkit, web search, and scraping for civic-tech AI agents.
• TUI Design Skill — A Claude Skill for designing clean, professional, minimal terminal UIs across Go, Rust, Python, and TypeScript.

I maintain ink-playing-cards — a React/Ink framework for building terminal card games with zones, events, and effects — and a growing collection of games built on top of it:

Also: digi-rain (digital rain for your terminal), ink-starter (Ink 6.x + React 19 boilerplate), and BinWars (multiplayer arcade game).

• tune.observer — Web app to identify notes, pitch, and BPM via your microphone. Real-time, browser-based.
• Handpan Pattern Studio — Compose handpan rhythms with multi-layer support, pro audio effects, and WAV export.
• Fretboard Mastery — Interactive guitar learning system with scale visualization, CAGED system, and gamified challenges.
• Lights Pi — Professional studio lighting control for Raspberry Pi with QLC+.
• Kaleidoscope — Generative kaleidoscope visualizer.
• Audio Visualizer — Stunning trippy visuals that react to your music in real-time.

Early support makes a massive difference and helps prove that indie open-source work can thrive sustainably.
