					<p class="reveal">
						I love messing around with code and tech just for the fun of it. Whether it's contributing to
						open-source projects, hacking together electronic gadgets, or wiring up old school breadboards,
						I enjoy building things that are both cool and useful. It's a hobby driven by curiosity. I’m
						always looking for ways to create something that helps me or someone else solve a problem or do
						something better.

							<h3 class="major">chainladder-python</h3>
							<p class="reveal">
								<i>chainladder-python</i> is a Python package designed to handle all core actuarial
								reserving
								tasks, including triangle data manipulation, link ratio calculations, and IBNR
								estimation using both deterministic and stochastic models. It offers a modern
								alternative to outdated legacy tools, with a syntax inspired by familiar libraries like
								pandas and scikit-learn. Built to be intuitive, minimal, and powerful, it enables
								actuaries to focus on analysis—not software limitations.

							<p class="reveal">
								<i>Colonizer</i> is a strategic analysis tool for the board game Settlers of Catan. It
								helps
								players, especially beginners, make better decisions by identifying suboptimal
								settlement placements and trades using economic theory. By analyzing game data and
								common patterns, it offers insights into gameplay mistakes, helping users improve
								strategy, resource efficiency, and overall competitiveness.

							<h3 class="major">Custom Router</h3>
							<p class="reveal">
								My home network router uses an open-source solution for managing network traffic
								and blocking ads across all devices. It intelligently routes data, enhances privacy, and
								improves performance by eliminating unwanted ads and tracking. With fine-grained control
								over traffic behavior, it serves as a home-network upgrade that improves speed,
								security, and my home network experience.

							<p class="reveal">
								<i>Aerial Extractor</i> is a utility that downloads Apple's cinematic aerial
								screensavers,
								originally created for Apple TV. It allows users to view these high-quality visuals on
								their own systems by extracting and organizing the entire collection. Lightweight and
								easy to use, it brings Apple's most beautiful motion backdrops to desktops and custom
								displays with minimal setup.

							<h3 class="major">Byte-It</h3>
							<p class="reveal">
								<i>Byte-It</i> is an arcade-style survival game where players dodge moving obstacles
								while
								collecting apples and gems for points. Built on custom hardware with microcontrollers,
								LCD screens, and NES-style controls, it challenges players to stay alive and use
								power-ups strategically. With visual score displays and fast-paced action, it blends
								classic gaming with embedded systems design.
