I build software. Sometimes.


About
-----

I am based in West Lafayette and have been doing Computer Science coursework at
Purdue since 2024. I like minimal tools, direct interfaces, and software that
feels understandable all the way down. And I LOVE writing parsers and compilers.
If you want to talk software, I want to talk to you!


Current Work
------------

I am doing UI/UX contract work for Beck's Hybrids as part of an SPS project with
The Data Mine.


Favorite Projects
-----------------

HSL
https://github.com/sndyx/hsl
A transpiled programming language for Hypixel Housing, tooling that emulates
computer input to import scripting components into it, and a build system and
package manager called Mason.

Skinscape
https://github.com/skinscape/skinscape
A free, modern skin editor for Minecraft. Skins can be easily imported and
exported, and work in many different formats. Features an intuitive UI which was
particularly fun and challenging to build because it attempts a consistent
pixel-art style, even featuring custom pixel fonts. Has localization support,
a themes system, and much more.

Karrat
https://github.com/sndyx/karrat
A Minecraft server in Kotlin compatible with 1.18.2, built from scratch. Has
support for the game's custom binary protocol and challenge-response auth over
TCP, and a simple API for interacting with the code.
