Hello, traveler.

I’m Lance, a software engineer with a front-end heart. I build web applications, desktop tools, and things that make someone’s day a little easier.

This is my little patch of the internet. Part workshop, part field journal, with a view that reminds me to slow down once in a while.

Currently building at MyOutDesk.
On the side: sumo stats, small-business websites, and Rust experiments.

Psst. The fields below have a few secrets.

Thanks for stopping by.
The personal web is better with people in it.

A front-end heart. An explorer’s curiosity.

Beyond the screen, a quieter place.

The fields, in your time
A quiet kingdom An original pixel-art landscape inspired by childhood adventures: a distant castle, mountains, a winding river, a sword in a stone, and deep green woods. The sky follows your local time of day.

Wander a little. Some things are waiting to be found.
