david 1337 React Next.js TypeScript Tauri Supabase Tailwind
david 1338 turning weekend ideas into repos (0% CPU idle, ever)
Self-taught, humanities background, pivoted into code and never looked back. These days I run Dark Magic Studios, my solo shop where I build products, take on contract work, and occasionally ship something nobody asked for at 1am. 🌙
| 🎟️ | Project | What it is |
|---|---|---|
| 🤼 | Booker Blitz | A wrestling promotion sim. Tauri + TypeScript + Supabase, Steam Early Access bound. Book the shows, tank the ratings, blame the booker. |
| 🪄 | hocus | Wizard-themed multi-agent AI harness generator. Yes, the name is a pun. No, I will not apologise. |
| 🗂️ | MCPocket | Syncs MCP configs across Claude and OpenCode so you stop copy-pasting JSON like it's 2023. |
| 💎 | Vitreus | An obsidian based personal assistant + note taker |
Plus a stack of Claude skills that automate most of my week. The weekly review writes itself now, which is either efficiency or laziness. 🤷
- ⚛️ React, Next.js, and the eternal question of whether you need that state library (you don't)
- 🦀 Tauri desktop apps, and why I left Electron behind without crying
- 🤖 Agentic workflows, Claude skills, MCP servers, and prompt plumbing
- 🎮 Game dev as a solo act, from prototype to Steam page
- 🐧 Linux ricing, terminal theming, and the sacred Catppuccin Mocha palette
- 💸 Freelance and contract work (remote only, EU friendly hours)
[■■■■■■■■■■] 🥇 Shipped a game to Steam ......... in progress, don't jinx it

Open to remote-only contract and full-time work, EU timezones. Bring a good problem. 🎯
