✧ You found the clearing.
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.
A few paths off the main road
Side quests. ◈ A personal web project focused on sumo statistics and live sumo wrestling events.
