Projects & Labs

Vibe Code

Small, real builds. Working demos and readable thinking. Each project includes a snapshot: what I built, why, and anything noteworthy from the build.

Current & Planned

A living list. Some are public, some are in the forge and will land when they're stable.

In Development

Corp X

Text game IT life sim Obsidian vault backend Python engine Helpdesk noir

A text-based, choice-driven narrative game about the reality of enterprise IT. You're the new SysAdmin at Corp X, a small manufacturing company. The previous admin is gone. Your boss flies in from Secret Corp and disappears into meetings.

The game is built on a content-as-data architecture: narrative lives in an Obsidian vault, a Python engine reads it at runtime, and state is tracked across scenes, artifacts, and choices. This takes you through a dramatization of real environments many of us have seen as our careers have developed.

Engine and vault architecture in place. Narrative content in progress.
