I'm a software engineer with 20+ years of experience building systems in:

• Go (Golang)
• Ruby
• C / C++
• Software Architecture
• Artificial Intelligence

I love solving hard problems, exploring new technologies, and—true to my username—breaking things in spectacular ways so I can build them back better.

• Developer tools and high-performance backend infrastructure
• Game dev tooling, gameplay systems, and virtual tabletop experiments
• Stream orchestration & automation
• Streamer tools and broadcast utilities
• AI research, agent systems, and intelligent tooling
• Golang networking, protocol design, and packet analysis
• Writing about software engineering, systems design, and game development

I publish essays, dev logs, and technical deep-dives on Substack:

• Real-time networking (ENet, UDP, transport protocols)
• Game engineering (Godot, GLTF pipelines, gameplay systems)
• AI-driven simulation, tooling, and intelligent agents
• High-performance systems programming
• Workflow design & developer experience
• Training custom AI models & exploring model architectures

I describe my quest as “slaying dragons in code” — and some days, those dragons fight back.
