D20Kit is an application that aims to replicate the magic and immersion of in-person tabletop role play gaming. This project has been in development for a few years and has its roots in Synk, an audio replication tool. Synk, Kasqe, AuthNau, and Concord are all core components that create a solid application platform for other projects beyond D20Kit.

Kasqe is the culmination of nearly 10 years of engineering and operational experience around a diverse set of ETL, MapReduce, Event Sourcing, Streams, and other "Pipeline" workflows. Kasqe takes a simple typed interface and constructs the serial or parallelizable pipeline, recursively. Inspiration: I needed an exceptionally flexible way to define asset pipelines for D20Kit, Synk, and Anvil. Kasqe offers a way to modularize workflow components like image/video/3d model metadata extraction.

AuthNau is Auth0, but without having to rely on Auth0 or Okta. Auth0 serves a great role for projects which want an auth that "just works", until it doesn't. AuthNau is my solution for when you want your authentication to work NAU. AuthNau is built very similarly to Auth0's product offering and is tenant based.

Concord is a realtime distributed messaging and consensus solution platform. Born from Synk, Concord is battle tested against one of the most sensitive senses: hearing. Audio synchronization without a RTC stream is notorously difficult and any careless event can cause audio to buffer, clip, peak, or playback at different rates. Concord understands how to keep the client in relative sync with the primary source given these sensitive requirements which are configurable per source/group.

Anvil is the next generation tabletop and gaming platform that seeks to run on web and native desktop. A mobile/tablet edition is on a distant roadmap but mobile isn't at a place where it has great support for web graphics.

Synk is a web project built to solve the problem of running a D&D campaign and having no way to set the mood with music. Synk works by relaying the audio that the the DM mixes to the players in realtime. Kickstarted the D20Kit project after successful integration with a few D&D Groups.

A custom trading bot that was controlled through Discord chat. Aggregated from a diverse set of sources using subreddits to assist discovery of other scrapable data sources. Heavily scraped /r/wallstreetbets. Successfully traded options strategies for profit.

Feathers-couchbase is the db driver for Synk when it was written using featherjs and couchbase. It implementes the full FeathersJS common query API as well as a N1QL QueryBuilder.

Yadda is an open source deployment tool for Amazon ECS. This extension to the yadda ecosystem allows all projects using yadda to get AWS KMS encrypted (HIPAA compliant) secrets for free.

Puppeteer is a multi-game stat, inventory, and stamina tracker. As you play your tabletop game all players share the live data without having to use pen and paper.

The QR reporter was developed to solve the problem of broken lab computers going unreported for extended periods of time. Instead of a patron finding their way to a staff desk to report the issue, they could scan a code on the computer! This successfully reduced student workload and saved tens of thousands of dollars annually.

MoarDammit is a SWF/MP4/WEBM gallery of short (<1 min) clips used to give a quick laugh. MoarDammit has been under development for a few years mainly to practice with NestJS and AngularJS.

A simple little game that allows you, the player, to move around the board collecting blocks over time and making interesting designs. The game gets harder the more you play as the board fills up with deadly blue tiles. (Not built with BlocksEngine)

A little fun open source project trying to get a generalized Typescript game Engine that works with 2D as well as 3D rendering. A big WIP

The iTracker project existed to increase general student involvement with the SGA. It aggregated information from their backend project service Basecamp and allowed students to interact and have the opportunity to jump into projects.

Yelpy weather answers the question, does the weather affect the ratings of yelp reviews? The project is built from the ground up using Hadoop technologies, and was a big data research project mentored by an author of the MapReduce Design Patterns book.

The inventory project was designed to replace OCS Inventory by simplifying the setup from the administrator side while giving much more power to search the data provided.

CritiqueMe was a quick week-long project that aimed to alleviate the problem of youtubers posting a video for critique but never leaving any critiques themselves. This site solves the issue by forcing the channel to leave a critique first in order to post a video.
