Hi, I'm Jonathan

Projects, sites, and tools — all in one place.

This is the home base for what I build. Browse the projects and sites I run, or jump straight into a tool below.

Some things about me:

Retail and mobile by trade, with some computer science coursework from Cairn University before the pandemic disrupted in-person school and work took priority. I spend my spare time building tools, sites, and small projects — this one included.
