About Me
I’m a seasoned interactive webdev veteran. For SEO purposes, I’m a <sarcastic-quote>full-stack developer</sarcastic-quote> (even though new tech gets constantly added to said stack).

Featured Projects
Here are some projects that I’ve worked on.
underactive.net
My personal weblog that I’ve had since 1999
The content has been lost to the sands of time, except for a SQL dump from b2 blog (precursor to Wordpress) from the early 2000s. I might restore it with some kind of cringe disclaimer. But then there’s also the time when I used Livejournal and I know that stuff is gone. And then there’s the time when microblogging was big and I suppose I can post my old Twitter posts but it’s pretty noisy. We’ll see.
Ghost
OnlyFJs
I made a TikTok clone for a work project. This is a stripped down version utilizing the important bits of the project (intersection observers, web audio API, lazy loading, etc). I built this app without any AI assistance.
Vue.jsTypeScript
AMFM.video
I didn’t want to fall behind the AI bandwagon, so I created this app from the ground up using Cursor. Inspired by PoolSuite, this app uses music and visuals to set the vibe and help me code.
Note: As this was just a code-experiment, it’s only been tested on macOS Safari and Chromium-based browsers.
Also: This app uses embeded YouTube videos, and Google is clamping down on downloader apps, you might see a "Sign in to confirm you’re not a bot" prompt in place of the video. Disconnecting from your VPN usually fixes this.
