In addition to the BiblioCraft mod I created for Minecraft, I’ve also created and maintained a companion website to help explain the various elements of the mod.

JDS Sticky Notes is a sticky notes program I developed in Java to fulfill my need for a good sticky note program that could remember note positions across multiple monitors and multiple virtual desktops.

I also enjoy creating music. I play guitars, bass, and drums with several instruments on the side. I don’t have a whole lot of stuff that I have publicly released, but I have a couple things.I definitely plan to make more music sometime in the future. Check out the link to my Bandcamp page to see what I’ve released.

ne of my first major projects. I created this as a mod for Grand Theft Auto: Vice City back in the early 2000’s. This project inspired the HellFury motorcycle in GTA 4.

This is USB foot controller that has been reprogrammed and repurposed a few times. First it was a Midi controller and now it is a mouse clicker controller.

This is a project I did around 2010 as a tribute to my late father who passed in 2008. My father had built several similar tables when I was really young and he gave most of them away to friends. I tried my best to mostly replicate the original table based on the pictures and the piece I still have.

The finished chair is my first attempt at upholstery and chair building. Wrapped in 2.5-3oz chocolate brown Italian leather (super soft to the touch) and accented with blue cow suede and champagne suede piping.

This is a project I did in C++ using the JUCE framework because I wanted a more advanced soundboard for tabletop gaming with my friends.

Made for Minecraft, a mod that adds bookcases and other furniture to the game. In total, BiblioCraft adds 27 new blocks and 25 new items to the game. One of my largest and most successful projects to date.

A small project I setup for playing DnD with friends. The software starts a java based server on my primary computer, then hosts a simple webpage that can be accessed on any web browser.

I custom built my own Theremin that looks like a Tardis! Using Open Theremin designed electronics and a 3D printed custom Tardis case.

Another hobby I am into is leather working. I stared a few years ago and discovered I like creating my own leather goods. I’ve created a few different things at this point. I’ve shared some pictures of some of my favorites.

A multiplayer VR spray painting game with a few unique features. I created this for my senior project at university.

Woodworking is another hobby I enjoy. My dad taught me how to work with wood at a young age and I’ve been doing different types of woodworking projects most of my life. I shared a few photos of some of my favorite projects.

This is a leather purse I custom built for my mother to try best to meet her needs. The purse has a total of 12 pockets.

This is my idea of what a Midi Hang Drum would be. It has 9 pads and a touchscreen LCD to change the scale, key, and octave. Controls any Midi plugins over USB.

Unreal Against Humanity is a multi-player Cards Against Humanity game built using Unreal Engine 4 and C++.

This was a project to covert my exercise bike, a Bowflex C6, into a universal video game controller so I can play games while I ride. Especially fun with bicycle games.

Meet my custom slides. Made from buffalo leather uppers with blue pig suede on the inside, around the collar, and around the welt. Then vegetable tanned cow leather insoles with a goodyear welted midsole, also cow leather, but cheaper chromed tanned leather. Then I glued Vibram rubber soles to the bottom.

Yet another hobby I enjoy is electronics. When I was a teenager I got into electronics by building headphone amplifiers. I found that a really fun way to make something that I could spend a lot of time using. I built many amps from portable battery powered amps to larger desktop units I used with my computer for a long time. Eventually I built a full size power amp which I am still making use of after almost 20 years.

This website is my first experience with writing GLSL shaders for a web browser. This is a WordPress website with my own custom theme with custom shaders.

The Great Extra Terrestrial Cook Off is a top down 2D cooking game. Present day earth, the alien invasion has begun. The aliens use their tractor beams to beam people, refrigerators, stoves, and counters onto their flying saucers. Upon arriving on the alien spaceships, the player then find hungry alien judges that want to sample the quality of earth’s foods

Kardiobeats Heart Monitor is a heart monitor program I developed in C# on the UWP (Universal Windows Platform) API. I wanted something that I could run on one of my monitors than when I am in VR, open the desktop view and see my heart-rate.

Djent Fighter is another prototype I created using Unreal Engine 4 and C++. It is a VR rhythm fighting game. The idea would be that music would play and enemies run at you trying to get by you and to fight them you have to punch them to the beat.

I built a custom USB Midi pad for a double kick drum pedal. Includes several modes and is great for practicing double kick drum at my computer desk.

Unreal Cooking Timer is a simple cooking timer project I created in Unreal Engine 4 using just blueprints and some custom models I created in Modo. I wanted a timer program with 6 independent timers and I decided I wanted it to look like old timey nixie tubes and elevator buttons.

s part of a project in University, three other students and myself worked together to build an online magazine prototype for a high school called School Notes. This was a full stack project using a noSQL database, Angular, Node, and jQuery.
