About
I'm a developer who enjoys shipping full products end-to-end — games, mobile apps, backend systems, and the infrastructure that ties them together. My main focus right now is Genius Games LLC, where we're building original games on our own idle-game engine.
Games in development
Two titles currently in development at Genius Games, built on our in-house idle-game engine.
Sea Tiger Sanctuary
An idle wildlife sanctuary game set in the Florida Keys, starring the Sea Tiger — a rare, semi-aquatic tiger subspecies — and a cast of real (and reimagined) Keys wildlife. Check out the field guide.
Uncle Ronnie's: Under New Management
Coming soon.
Apps
Trip planners I originally built for my own vacations, refined into real apps under Genius Games. Both are live on the web now — native apps are coming soon.
WDW Planner
A Walt Disney World trip planner with wish lists, itineraries, and on-device AI assistance. Live on the web now — native app coming soon.
A trip planner for Villa Roma, sharing WDW Planner's core planning engine. Live on the web now, and on the App Store.
