Projects

SousChef: A macOS application for managing recipes in Markdown and displaying them nicely to read while cooking.

Esther's website: I maintain Esther's art site to help her show off her paintings and link to her YouTube channel and Etsy store.

Light Fakery: An open-source JS library for generating random fake data. Its goal is to be as lightweight as possible with great developer ergonomics.

Walkability: A simple project I built for our house search. It helped us visualize what places are near an address within various walking distances.
