hi! i'm Sunny

about me

welcome to my website ✨. i'm a human who likes to write software. i'm passionate about accessibility, free (libre) software, and making the Web a better place for humans over corporations. i like learning about user experience design, functional programming, and 3d graphics. i've been coding professionally for eleven years, but i made my first web page when i was five years old using Microsoft FrontPage and have had my nose buried in a computer screen ever since

i'm also into things outside of the software world. i'm a musician — i play guitar and piano/keyboard — and i love electronic music. Vektroid and BADBADNOTGOOD are a couple of my favorite artists. i enjoy cooking and i'm always trying new things to improve. i make an excellent vegan beef stroganoff 😋. i play video games for fun, right now i'm really enjoying Elden Ring. i'm a big fan of Dungeons & Dragons, both DMing and playing. i'll watch anything with David Attenborough narrating. and i love to travel!

stuff i've done

5e D&D tools

a Web app to help DMs with running in-person D&D sessions. includes an initiative tracker with auto-math and a reference for creatures, spells, and magic items. made with Preact and CSS modules

enstorium

an implementation of remoteStorage in Rust. essentially, an open-source server that can act like Google Drive which other apps can use as their storage backend. currently pre-release

tenpo suni

an early work-in-progress mobile-first daily planner focused on simplicity. the name is a play on words in toki pona — tenpo suno means day, and jan Suni is my toki-ponized name. i thought it was fun 🙂. tentatively made with Web Components

tape recorder

a Web app for recording and playing back audio. made with Preact and SCSS
