Welcome to my page!

I live in Salt Lake City, Utah. I develop software and dabble in music. When I need a break, I like to spend time in the mountains with my jeep and camping trailer.

My CV

@jvalol@mastodon.social

blitzkit

I build blitzkit, a small 2D and 3D game engine in Rust using wgpu. A game implements one trait and calls start(), and the engine takes it from there: the window. The event loop. Drawing, keyboard, mouse input, sound. You get it.

Pong, snake and tetris in 2D, marble and slider in 3D. It's on crates.io. The arcade they live in runs in a browser at arcadium.jva.lol.

OnCue

I also build OnCue, a security camera for the Mac you already own. Point it at a door or a room, set how much motion or sound should set it off, and arm it before you leave.

Nothing leaves your Mac. No account and no network needed. The recordings land in a folder you can choose.
