The "Fun Stuff"
Side hustles and other passions that I'd be happy to bring to work.
Media Production for my Twitch Streaming — As a personal rule I design my own graphical layouts, & edit my own clips for TikTok and Instagram.
3D Creation — I'm self-taught in Blender and have developed character costumes and 3D environments, which I then implemented into Unity game engine, also for use as part of livestreaming.
Small Electronics & Microcontrollers (ie Arduino) — I've built some home-made gadgets, including wireless-controlled RGB light setups, and a "blackjack hot potato" - a prototype toy with an LCD where the goal was to toss it before it counts to 21.
Full-Stack React and Express.js Development — My newest self-taught effort, I've built some (rough) prototype servers and Twitch Extensions with the goal of allowing more direct "Jackbox style" interaction between an event presenter and a virtual audience.
