Portfolio

Here’s an overview of hobbyist work I’ve done.

I plan to write more about each of these projects in the future - stay tuned!

I can’t share much from my past full-time roles here. They are described in my CV.

█ Game Development

▊ Science & Industry (2012-2019)

Maintaining and reshaping a very old Half-Life mod (also called si), which was created in 1999.

• Game (re)design, programming
• Project management
  • Mentoring junior developers collaborating on gameplay changes
  • Learning from game industry professionals
  • Building and distributing releases
• Playtesting via semi-competitive pickup games
• Infrastructure: VPS-based servers for our development tools and pickup game server

▊ Duality (2018 - present)

Solo development of an original FPS game created using the Godot Engine

• Game design
• Gameplay and netcode programming
• Shaders, models, maps and sounds

▊ Moment (2023 - present)

Minimalist instagib CTF based on the Duality codebase

Translation for non-FPS players: laser tag without going to an abandoned shopping mall.

Examples of the same gametype from the Unreal Tournament pickup community here.

█ VPS and Cloud

I’ve used Vultr and DigitalOcean to host and learn various things over the years:

• Development infrastructure for si, duality and moment
  • Gitea
  • DroneCI
    • More recently trying WoodpeckerCI and Gitea Actions
  • MinIO
• Network plumbing
  • Headscale
  • Traefik
• HLDS for pickup si games
• Communication tools
  • Conduit matrix homeserver
  • Murmur (mumble) server
• fwknopd, fail2ban etc
• Configuration via Ansible and docker-compose
  • Recently including Terraform / OpenTofu

Mostly running on Void Linux with a little bit of OpenBSD.

More recently, I’ve been learning AWS and Terraform together, then applying this to how I configure and maintain my Vultr instances and Proxmox lab (see below).

█ Homelab

I bought this old Supermicro machine on Kijiji so I could have more horsepower to run VMs using Proxmox:

It’s really loud and heavy. I could probably hide under it to survive some kind of catastrophe. The picture looks bad so I can save precious bandwidth needed for AI crawlers.

Later I may switch from Proxmox to XCP-ng.

Using it to run:

• NFS server on Void Linux
• Jellyfin via docker
• Gitea and also trying Forgejo
• OpenBao on OpenBSD
• GuixSD - sloooowly learning to make templates for system images

I also run some home network stuff via OPNSense.
