4 apps live in production — all designed, built & hosted by me

I turn ideas into real products people actually use.

Full-stack developer. I design the interface, model the data, write the APIs, and run the servers. My client work stays under wraps — so here's what I build for myself.

WeightTracker

weight.jshome.men

Plots your real progress against your own goal lines — with a camera that reads your scale for you.

Log a daily weight against a checklist of your own habits, then watch your actual weight, a 7-day average and your personal goal lines on one interactive chart. Every account is fully private, and it installs on your phone like a native app.

Point. Read. Done.

A server-side ONNX digit-recognition model reads the scale display from a phone photo. When confidence is low it asks you instead of guessing — manual entry is always one tap away.

Beyond the web · Studio Vorago

I also ship games.

With a friend, I run Studio Vorago — a two-person indie studio. We released a horror game on Steam, and fit a full 3D Unreal Engine game into a web browser in two weeks.

Survival horror · Released on Steam 2.0 in consideration

Apartment 606

View on Steam

A new night shift, working from home. But this apartment harbours dark secrets. Can you survive all five nights?

A horror and management game where surviving takes more than hiding: you also have to finish your work on the computer to keep your job. Each night brings new threats, cinematic story sequences slowly reveal the mystery, and your choices lead to multiple endings. It all takes place inside the apartment. A complete game built in Unreal Engine 5, made as a duo and released by Studio Vorago.

3D alchemy puzzle · Game jam Built in 2 weeks

The Shadowveil: Last Bastion

Play in your browser

Our challenge: build a full 3D Unreal Engine game in two weeks, and make it run in a web browser.

Made for the Pirate Software Game Jam 15 (2,345 entries, theme “Shadows and Alchemy”), and only our second jam ever. You play an apprentice to the Ethereal Engineers, mixing elements to conjure the flames, light and electricity that hold back the encroaching shadows. To fit itch.io’s 200 MB browser limit, we cut the asset set down hard and still kept it fully 3D.
