Junior dev with varied interests.
Still searching for a specialization I can commit to while maintaining widely applicable skills.
Currently familair with many aspects of front-end development, back-end development, and ops.
Drop me an email at my username at Gmail or a DM on Twitter if you need something.
I can provide other contact details if needed when there's a reason.
Currently employed and not searching for anything at the moment.
Mostly full-stack web projects that touch on different parts of the tech stack from the front-end to the back-end and ops.
My repos have become a bit polluted with forks I plan to customize later but haven't gotten around to, among other things 😅 Acive stuff is listed here.
- monorepo: https://github.com/RyanCargan/monorepo - Dumping ground for miscellaneous personal work.
- nixos-desktop-config: https://github.com/RyanCargan/nixos-desktop-config - Configuration files for NixOS installation on local machine.
- nixos-server-config: https://github.com/RyanCargan/nixos-server-config - Configuration files for NixOS installation on headless remote machine.
- deployment-utils: https://github.com/RyanCargan/deployment-utils - Stuff to help with deploying current apps via GitHub actions.
There's much I'm still learning, but I might be able to help if you need assistance with implementing full-stack projects that follow the Jamstack (Next.js Directus) pattern.
Or if you just need general debugging/troubleshooting help with something tech-related (remote assistance through something like AnyDesk is an option).

Mainly playing around with automation techniques and procedural generation since I lack a traditional art background. Still leanring the essentials of perspective for 2D art, good topology for 3D (animated) art, and anatomy for both. I mostly practice with Bézier curves or CSS for 2D stuff, and poly modeling for 3D stuff. No plans to get into traditional 2D drawing or 3D sculpting anytime soon.
