About

Hey, I'm Jeff

I live to learn, create, solve problems, and improve upon things. When I can find free time I enjoy playing guitar, dabbling in music recording and production, video games, sports, and hanging out with my family and friends.

Check out this simple three.js project of my 2021 GitHub Skyline.

GameBoy-V2 (2024)

Gameboy ... but it's v2

Full design & development

Designed for mobile browsers to act like a gameboy. It was a good intro to TypeScript and canvas while revisiting React.

It's basic MVP but good enough for now. I may come back to clean up the general jankiness and add more features.
