01. About

I'm a software engineer who gets unreasonably excited about clean abstractions, well-designed systems, and side projects that spiral into something real.

When I'm not pushing commits I'm probably reading about distributed systems, tinkering with hardware, or finding new ways to automate things that didn't need automating.

Building something I can't talk about yet
Learning more than I'm shipping
Not actively job hunting

02. Featured Projects

The good stuff lives in private repos. Here's what I can talk about.

Open Source

Holiday Visualizer

A browser-based app that reframes vacation days as a finite resource. A token bank drains as you log time off — so you see what you have left, not just when events are. No server, no dependencies, no install.

  • HTML
  • CSS
  • JavaScript
  • localStorage
Private Repo ↗ chewchart.com

ChewChart

A weekly meal planner built for real use — plan breakfast, lunch, and dinner across the week, save favourites, share plans via email or PDF export, and sync across devices with cloud sign-in.

Private Repo

json.md

A local-first desktop editor for JSON and Markdown, powered by the same Monaco engine as VS Code. Multi-tab, schema validation, live Markdown preview, folder tree with full-text search, and a command palette — packaged as a native app for macOS, Windows, and Linux.

  • Electron
  • Monaco Editor
  • Node.js

03. Open Source

The public-facing work lives on GitHub — Minecraft plugins, experiments, and whatever else I've left in the open. Some of it's even documented.
