I build software under Gamertan: a small, independent home for useful tools, strange ideas, and projects I care enough to operate in public.
I’m a developer, designer, and systems builder—as well as a husband and dad. I’m disabled and neurodivergent, too. I don’t share that as a diagnosis-shaped résumé item; it simply explains some of the care behind the work. Time, energy, attention, bodies, and brains vary. Software should make room for that.
That usually means accessible paths, plain language, recoverable mistakes, boring deployments, and systems a future human can understand. I like clever code. I trust legible code more.
Don’t bother me—I’m working on my gamer tan.
Gamertan is the public homebase. Gamertan Gitea is the canonical forge: source, release history, contribution and security instructions, and project stewardship live there.
This GitHub account exists for discovery and accessibility. Project repositories mirrored here are read-only discovery snapshots. If GitHub and Gitea disagree, Gitea is authoritative. Please use each canonical repository’s contribution and security instructions rather than opening issues or pull requests against a mirror.
An HTML-first, ahead-of-time template engine for Go. It keeps the immediate, mixed-markup feeling I loved on the old web, then generates typed ordinary Go components with contextual escaping and a small production runtime.
v1.0.0-beta.1 is live as a signed, installable public beta for classrooms, learning, prototypes, and compatibility feedback. It is not a production stability promise: interfaces may still change before final v1, and native macOS maintainer testing remains provisional until I can run it directly.
go get gamertan.com/sandwich-hime/sando@v1.0.0-beta.1
go install gamertan.com/sandwich-hime/cmd/himesan@v1.0.0-beta.1That runtime-first order is intentional for Beta 1. The exact release source passed Go 1.25.12 and 1.26.5 on native Windows and executed Linux, and clean direct and public Go-proxy installs are verified.

A fast, accessible EverQuest reference built from public EQL Wiki data. It is for the wonderfully specific moment when your adventure needs an item, spell, NPC, zone, recipe, merchant, or faction answer more quickly than your memory can supply it.
San is a separate programming-language project I am still thinking through and
building privately. It is not released, has no supported toolchain, and
should not be inferred from unfinished experiments or domains. .san belongs
to San; Sandwich Hime templates use .sando.
When San has something honest and useful to show, it will have its own announcement and canonical home. Until then: the mountain on the horizon, not a product claim.
Accessibility is not polish. Maintenance is part of design. Public work should say who stewards it, where its source lives, what is experimental, and what people can safely rely on.
Family also puts software in its proper place. I want to make things that are useful and durable, without pretending every idea must become a company or every evening must become a launch.
I learn by building. I try to leave the result easier to inspect, repair, and inherit than I found it.
The much longer April 2026 profile is preserved in the archive. It was sincere; this one is simply closer to where the work is now.
