Personal project · 2026 to now

A real-time collaborative editor for rhythm-game levels: peer-to-peer CRDT sync, its own expression language and a WebGPU renderer, in the browser and natively on five platforms. It is built with an agent-driven workflow: about 200,000 lines of TypeScript since July 2026.

Synth Labs

Founder · 2022 to now

A consumer-electronics business I founded and run. I design the products in Fusion 360 and EAGLE, write their QMK firmware, and work with manufacturers on CNC machining and injection molding. More than 2,500 units shipped so far: a keyboard, a macropad and an original keycap profile.
