Even when I'm not designing and developing, I'm designing and devoloping. This page showcases a few of my small personal projects, all of which are completed to various degrees. I love personal projects because they give me a chance to pick up new skills, enjoy inperfection, and create fun things for my friends. Each of these projects have, in some way, informed some of my more professional work.

Alex's Simple Spellsheet

My latest entry in Dungeons & Dragons resource Sites, Alex's Simple spellsheet aims at not replacing traditional pen and paper D&D, but tries to save you some erasers by putting frequently modified info on your phone.

The website tracks your character's health, magic reserves, and once-per-day abilities. The goal was to make the website as user friendly as possible. It features a built in calculator for managing health, drag and drop functionality for sorcery points, and it saves your information automatically so that things are always as you left them. The site is live on Github pages!

Nurdle

The Wordle at the bottom of this site was not my first venture into unnecesary Wordles. What started out as a joke between my friends and I, turned into a deceptively mindless guessing game. It's a lot of fun watching people try the game for the first time, spend a long time strategizing only to realize the game is almost entirely up to luck.

5eBookBinder

5eBookBinder is yet another Dungeons & Dragons website I created to solve a very common problem with the game: When creating a character that weilds magic, there are far too many spells to remember, with descriptions far too long to write down. Most people choose to google the spell when in need, however this slows the game down quite a bit. The solution I came up with was to create a website that generates a custom spell book, tailored to your character.

Lights!

I'm a little obsessed with lighting. When I moved into my new appartment a few years ago, I decided to design custom lighting for my room. Using a Raspberry Pi 0w, and an addressable led strip, I created a web server that allowed me to control my led lights from my phone. The site used websockets to update the lights in realtime, and showed a mathing 3d representation of the lights. A hanging lamp that I 3d modeled and printed is also shown.
