Hi, I'm Brett 👋

Full-stack tinkerer and off-grid digital nomad — I do most of my coding from remote wilderness locations, usually closer to a trailhead than a power outlet. I like shipping things that actually run: browser games you can play in one click, Python tools that poke at the network layer, and infrastructure that spins itself up. I work from vanilla-JS PWAs down to Terraform + Ansible, with a soft spot for tabletop RPGs and a well-timed cup of coffee. ☕

JavaScript TypeScript Python Flutter React Node.js Terraform Ansible DigitalOcean Linux

🎮 Play something right now — no install needed

Project What it is Built with

Sudoku Solver Fast solver with 100 built-in puzzles, works offline Vanilla JS · PWA

🛠️ Things I've built

  • claude-gh-ticket-gen — a published npm CLI that parses roadmap docs and turns them into well-formatted GitHub issues, powered by Claude.
  • Ansible Galaxy roles — reusable roles for networking, routing, and secure-user setup on DigitalOcean droplets.
  • Python network toolkit — a hands-on collection (packet sniffer, netcat, TCP/UDP clients & servers, SSH client/server) for understanding the wire up close.
  • TTRPG bots & tools — Discord bots and a virtual tabletop for Vampire: The Masquerade, Dune, and D&D night.
