Selected Projects
Multiplayer Game
RoadTax
A hex-based strategy game for 2–5 players, free in the browser: build roads, collect tolls from your rivals and trade your way to the top.

ToMindMap
A mind-mapping plugin for Obsidian Canvas. Auto-layout, linked topics and export — installable on desktop and phone.

AI Notes App
Mino
An AI-first notes app that turns rough thoughts into mindmaps, then lets you ask them questions.
AI + Finance
Agentic Trading Bot
An AI decision layer over Alpaca where the model proposes and Python validates — position sizing, risk limits and PDT rules are all enforced before an order is ever placed.
Infrastructure
WorldFolder
Minecraft hosting for friend groups: your world sleeps when nobody is playing and wakes up in seconds when someone joins, at one address that never changes.
To the limit and beyond!

Outside of tech, I enjoy organizing small creative events and filming short videos with friends.
