    I'm passionate about two things: game development and writing! For several years I've been working as an evenings-and-weekends indie game developer. I love it -- it's such a joyful…

    The simplicity of this is awesome. I've vaguely wanted to start blogging for many years, but suffered from analysis paralysis on where/how to get started. This was so simple -- too…

    The company I work for has an opportunity available that might be a good fit for you -- we specialize in conducting remote technical interviews as a service. It pays pretty well & …

    This is so neat! Seems like a really fun game, and I'm also a big fan of the very straightforward & minimal website. Would definitely buy one of the decks you're planning to sell :…

    I write! I started a new habit back in 2016: anytime I felt bored or felt an impulse to just open a browser and navigate to a news site, I would instead tab to my word processor an…
