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.

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.
