Projects

Two projects I'm proudest of: a game jam winner built around one rule, and an open-source tool built around one workflow.

Hack2Interact Game Jam — Winner

Get Otter Here!

A game where the entire control scheme is a mouse and one button.

Every mechanic, movement, timing, decisions, had to be expressed through a single click and where you point the cursor. I directed the team through that constraint: keeping the design honest to "one button" while making sure it never felt thin. My own work was split between optimization, keeping the game smooth on modest hardware during a tight jam deadline, and the visual polish that gives each level its personality.

It placed first at Hack2Interact, judged on how fully a team could build a complete, polished experience around one restriction.

  • Godot
  • GDScript
  • One-button design

Open Source — GitHub

Clean CRM

A lightweight CRM built to run WhatsApp campaigns without the bloat.

Clean CRM connects to the YCloud API so a team can plan, send, and track WhatsApp campaigns from one clean interface instead of juggling spreadsheets and a separate messaging dashboard. The goal was to keep the whole stack simple enough that anyone could read the codebase in an afternoon: server-rendered templates, a straightforward relational schema, and migrations that actually document what changed and why.

  • Python
  • Jinja2
  • PostgreSQL
  • Alembic
  • YCloud API
