Agentic Skill for Job Seekers

GetAJob

An agentic skill I coded and designed to help job seekers automate their search and how to chase up their dream companies.

Beer, Wine & Kombucha

Homemade Brewing

From citrus nettle wine picked in the garden to country lagers and kombucha, great feedback on home-brewed beverages.

3D Printing
My own games and merch

3D Printing

Designing and printing functional objects, pieces for my own TTRPGs, and fidget clickers. Also exploring branded merch as well.

Favorite Games

I've studied games my entire life, not just as a player but as a designer reverse-engineering why they work. The best games nail what most software struggles with: teaching complex systems through play, rewarding mastery without punishing newcomers, and creating economies that self-balance. Many of my favorites are children's games, because if a five-year-old can figure it out without a tutorial, that's the bar your enterprise SaaS onboarding should be hitting. That lens informs every product decision I make for usability, accessibility, and scalability.

The games and platforms that last are the ones where users build something the designers never anticipated.

That's the bar I aim for: simple entry, deep mastery, room for people to make it theirs.
