Hello!
Welcome to my personal website. This is where I host my portfolio, contact info, and blog.
This is largely my programming-focused showcase/portfolio. If you're looking for my resume, you canemail me with info (like who you are) and I may send you a proper CV.
I also have a blog! I don't write much, but if you like tech stuff, you can read ithere.
Programming Portfolio

A bot addon for the popular Garry's Mod gamemode Trouble in Terrorist Town (TTT), and its derivative, TTT2. Check it out onGitHub.

bigsleepjoe.com
The website you're currently looking at! This is built using Next.js, Tailwind, and elbow grease. As of writing, this is being hosted on my Raspberry PI 5 via Cloudflare tunnel.
The source code for this website can be found onGitHub.
YT Comment Analysis
I scraped tens of thousands of YouTube comments from over a thousand YouTube videos, sorted them by video category, and ran a few data processing algorithms on each comment.
I then compiled some interesting results and graphs into a video, which you canwatch here, or you canread the actual report here.
Pithee Scraper
I wrote a scraper for the websitepithee.com, which is a crowdsourced joke website by Jacksfilms. My scraper uses a login token to grab a bunch of random user posts and can collect large amounts of post data in a short amount of time. It can also collect winner posts at a much slower rate without needing a token.
My original intention was to use this data to train a classifier to measure if a joke was funny or not. Unfortunately, the winning/losing jokes were actually too similar for any classifier I tried to actually differentiate them (in a statistically meaningful way).
