Things I've built

Projects born from curiosity — each one started as "I wonder if I can..."

Visual representation of ax

ax

A pacman wrapper that started as "can I do this in Rust?" and became an endless void.

Born from over a year of daily-driving vanilla Arch with Hyprland, ax started as a curiosity — "yay isn't written in Rust, can I make something even remotely close?" What began as a simple pacman wrapper shelling out commands evolved into a full-featured package management companion for Arch Linux. Supports standard pacman operations, transparent flag passthrough, and is published on crates.io.

Vellum

A clean, offline reader for people who just want to read.

A modern Android reader designed for comic book archives (CBZ), EPUBs, and PDFs. Built because most readers are either bloated with features nobody asked for or missing the basics. Vellum focuses on being clean, offline-first, and supporting multiple formats without the noise. Built with Kotlin and Jetpack Compose following modern Android architecture.
