About
Hi, I'm Tony — still figuring out the big picture, but it'll definitely involve creativity and computers. I'm a software engineer, designer, and all-around builder with a soft spot for creativity and clean code.
I have varying levels of experience with Typescript/JavaScript, C#, Java, PHP, Go, Python, Lua and HTML/CSS. I've been managing and designing websites since 2008 and have a few small contracts where I keep up maintenance on a few non-profit or open source websites.
You can find a lot of my more recent open source work on Github
Portfolio
I'm a jack-of-all-trades with experience across both analytical and creative fields.
Programming
At this point, I consider myself a software engineer. I've built everything from custom frameworks to in-house production tools for automating audio workflows, metadata validation, and task flows for publishers, and error-checking accounting spreadsheets. I've also contributed to open-source projects on GitHub and even created a few of my own, like zdiscord.
These days, I'm building a lot with Django and feel comfortable in several languages, including Python, Go, and TypeScript. I've also worked with C, C++, and C#. Zig's caught my eye too — I'd love to dig into it more once it stabilizes, especially since I've already used tools built on it, like Bun (No relation xD). You can find some of my work on Github.
Web Programming
My first portfolio piece is this very website. I build fast, responsive websites with clean, minimal code and zero bloat. I can work with just about any framework, but I often find they tend to become outdated quickly and can be a hassle to maintain in the long run.
A lot of the websites I've built for others are private or a bit too personal to share here. That said, I've got a bunch of fun side projects you can check out in the projects section. Enjoy!
3D modeling
I've been working with 3D modeling for a few years now, primarily using Blender. Most of my experience is with hard-surface and structured models, but I've been branching out into organic modeling—still learning, but making progress!
Graphic Design
I've been a heavy Photoshop user since CS2 dropped in 2005. I've created more than I can remember $mdash; logos, banners, print designs, game art, and even restored 40+ year-old, black and white photos that were ripped and weathered to look like they were taken yesterday. There's not much I can't do in Photoshop.
Other Random Things
• Moderated and designed Discord servers for various communities
• Troubleshot and debugged like a champ (problem-solving is kind of my thing)
• Worked in live media (audio, visual, and lighting) and post-production
• Spent a few years as a server technician (networking + enterprise automation)
• Co-designed the technical spec for Lanier Technical College's conference center (Forsyth, GA)
• Designed and programmed Crestron touchscreen interfaces for large event centers
Support?
Google AdSense banned me for life over something dumb I did when I was 16 — whoops. Ever since, I've stayed away from putting ads on anything I make. Partially out of principle, partially out of pride. So none of my projects make money unless people choose to support them directly.
If you'd like to donate even a few bucks, I'd really appreciate it ♥
