I've Been Building for a While.

I started making games as a kid with QBasic and Klik & Play. Most of it was terrible. None of it went anywhere. But I loved it, and I never really stopped.

I've spent my career building web software, and my nights building games.

The Way I Work Changed.

In the last couple of years, the way I build changed. AI agents do a lot of the typing now. That only works because of the part I care most about: writing things down so the agents, and I, stop repeating the same mistakes.

Decisions, gotchas, conventions, all of it, committed next to the code.

I'm not trying to pretend I have all the answers. I definitely don't. This site is where I keep the honest record: what I built, what broke, and what I'd do differently.

Selected work

Some Things I've Built.

See selected work

Playtest analytics / My product / Case study

Playloop

I built Playloop for game developers and I run it. It records how people play, finds where they struggle across sessions, and turns that into a list of things to fix.

Real-world case study

See how I used it to analyze 215 Steam Next Fest playtests.

Developer API / My product / Live

MeloData

An API that looks up a song and gives back its tempo, key and energy. I built it and I run it, and developers use it in their own apps.

Community platform / Collaboration / Live

GS Poetry

I rebuilt GS Poetry with its team and we launched it. Writers publish their poems and find each other there, and I still work on it.
