Hello and welcome!
I’ve been developing software since I was a teenager learning to code in QBasic, Turbo Pascal, and HyperCard. In 2009 I earned a Masters of Science in Computer Science. Over the years I’ve become a generalist, working on everything from embedded Linux systems to reverse engineering Windows applications to full stack web development – and everything in between.
This portfolio highlights my work on open source projects.
Creator
Projects I created and (in some cases) actively maintain.

QSingleInstanceCheck
Originally developed for Fang, this simple C++ header-only library can be used to not only ensure that one and only one instance of your app is running, but also send a signal to the original instance. In Fang this signal is primarly used on Windows to show the app when it’s been minimized to the system tray.
