A favorite game of mine as a kid was an old DOS game called Redhook's Revenge released all the way back in 1993. It was an interactive naval board game where you roll dice, move ships, conquer ports Risk-style, and answer maritime trivia.



I'm working on a side project, ap-quiz.com, has officially launched. It is a mobile-focused high school AP exam practice app that brings together a massive AP question bank.

I built LennyFighter to explore how far Cloudflare's developer platform can go for real-time multiplayer. Everything runs at the edge with zero origin servers: Vinext (React SSR) + Workers + Durable Objects for match state + D1 for stats + KV for session tokens + WebSockets for real-time play.

Built this due to my passion to explore the connections between known people, now data includes entities from EU, USA and CA. There is also a Trivia game section that i built to know/explore new persons and discover facts.

Built a DIY Hitster clone (music quiz game) during a car ride. Voice messages to Claude Code on a home server, Tailscale for instant preview on my phone. Fun side note: Spotify's ToS explicitly prohibit building games with their API, so this will stay a private project.

But instead of using predefined polls, I made a coding agent that builds it for you. I spend weeks trying to teach it how to use a local-first db called InstantDB and how to produce decent designs.
