Projects done

Once described as a "professional musician, fine programmer, and all-round good guy", I always put a positive spin on everything I do. Currently working on this Project . I've been moving away from just Web development and mixing in some Windows Application development, with a focus on Python and AHK.

I also have a penchant for creating things that have a physical element, and since discovering the ESPRESSIF ESP platform, I've started working on a few projects that involve hardware AND software, gently easing my self into custom PCB's as well. Check out the OneKey above.
