JUST FOR FUN

I've spent the last few months exploring what's possible at the intersection of creativity and AI — experimenting with vibecoding to build browser-based games, tools, and apps from scratch. These projects are how I learn: by making things I actually want to exist.

GAME

SCREMBLE

I love playing Scrabble. I play with my parents, my partner, and my best friend. Not everyone lives nearby, though, so I thought I'd try creating a browser-based app to play remotely with people in my life. Why not just use Words With Friends? I don't know, I wanted to make my own thing. Plus, I developed a mode where you can play against a computer at varying levels of difficulty.

GAME

WHACK-A-DUCK

My niece loves ducks. When I told her I made a game for her, she asked me, wide eyed, "I'm the only kid who has played?" It might not be the most sophisticated game, but my adult friends and family have enjoyed trying to make the leaderboard, too.

GAME

BAR POINT

I've been playing a lot of backgammon on my phone. The problem: the app has ads. A lot of them. The solution: rather than paying $15 for the ad-free version, I built my own backgammon app for playing against a computer. Play full matches or jump into a quick challenge from a random position. A new daily puzzle arrives every day, so I can build a streak. Games save automatically and it even works offline.
