i've been testing mappermate recently, it's a great tool for game developers to make their tile sets, look what i made in it :)

My 2025 was a year of music, fitness, and business as a W2 employee. Lots of grinding behind the scenes, but seeing a lot of payoff. - Led a show for the very first time as singer / guitarist - Performed ~5 solo open mics around NYC - Got paid to accompany a vocalist at a bar gig - Squatted 315 for first time ever - Broke ground deadlift PR (465lbs) - Got back into running for first time in 13 years - Competed in solo and double Hyrox with @jqdsouza - Helped a company IPO as a lead engineer - Made a wee bit of $ from my newest app (@mappermate) - Visited Portugal, Croatia, and Argentina Already scheduled out some of 2026, including restarting my YouTube channel and possibly creating a new one. Let's see where things go and where the world takes us with the crazy onset of AI.

My 2025 wrapped in 8 points: 1. Wrote published 5(!) Substack essays 2. Competed in DC Boston Hyrox with the incredible @christopher4lis 3. Ran the Brooklyn Experience Half Marathon in ~1:38 4. Wrapped my time at the rocketship @DoppelHQ — endlessly grateful to have learned from the best: @rahul_madduluri and @KevinTian00 5. Began my founding journey with @shakshukan, started deep at -1 and approaching 0 now 6. Joined the @southpkcommons F25 fellowship program, lucky to have world-class investors operators like @JPBrebner @ditzikow @msanvido in our corner 7. Spent a few days in the air: 14 flights, mostly NY <> SF ( Boston, Toronto, DC, Montreal) 8. Deepened old friendships and made new ones through SPC — met brilliant folks like @michaelfanous1 @paranirmal9 (and many more). Couldn't be more excited for what's to come next year!

Quite proud of these features I was able to add in the last couple of days with a locked-in mindset. Trying to make my app as enjoyable to use as possible and its getting better every iteration. Real game made with it when?

Been meaning to add a @MapperMate tutorial for forever now. Finally done and pushed live. One more killer feature for the app and I think it's going to be the best tilemap editor out there.

Hello beautiful Boston!

Much appreciated mention 🫡

Getting the wake-up time a bit more accustomed to the US, still looking to crush mornings though. - Make breakfast - Finish C minor blues course Nice and easy one today

This morning I'm looking to complete profile pages for @MapperMate users. How fast can you develop a full frontend / backend for this, 1 hour feasible?

Still got some canvas skill in me 🌌🌌🌌

Okay a real, big boi dev tip is you can access a browser's window.innerWidth property without "window." innerWidth works by itself. yes it's magic, and we like magic #javascript

Random #css dev tip for ya'll—it's okay to inline a large amount of classes. Over abstraction kills productivity and can make future changes a shitty experience. breathe, it's going to be okay, can promise you the end user does not care...
