Hi, I'm Joe.
This site serves as a live portfolio and dev log documenting how I use LLM-assisted development to rapidly clear an ambitious backlog of project ideas. Most projects start as a curiosity, a half-baked joke, or a D&D side quest, then get rapidly prototyped into functional games, interactive tools, and web experiments alongside large language models. Nearly all of it runs client-side right here in the browser; pick a card below to explore the builds.

Peliad Defense
A tower defence in Peliad Survivors' pixel style: hire fighters, rangers and wizards to hold the swamp roads, barricade the shortcuts to send the bog the long way round, build up the town, and hold out through five stages: Peliad, the Church of All Souls, Jarlot's Cave, the Labyrinth and the Desert Camp, each with its own creatures and bosses.
