Hi, I'm Jack!
Who?
An aspiring software developer, Linux & neovim user, NixOS addict,
and Computer Science student at UC Santa Cruz.
I'm interested in all things
technology but especially systems programming and low level
software. I love learning about how things work! When I'm
not on my computer I also occasionally mountain bike, play tennis,
and enjoy the sun :P
I go by Bvngee
on the internet.
What?
Nowadays most of my time is spent in Formula Slug's lab space working on a variety of projects from live telemetry radio communication, to data visualization, embedded programming, and PCB debugging. Eventually I will write more about it on this site :)
Here are a bunch of other projects I care about, past and present:
- NixOS config: my journey into Linux, learning how OS's work from the bottom up, and my descent into madness trying to build the perfect dev environment
- SAR project: I helped construct/organize my highschool's brand new electronics class, consisting of tons of fun research, building, embedded programming, and debugging. This is the result of that!
- This website! (src): Written and hosted completely from scratch (using only Astro, nginx, and some bash). No preexisting integrations/deployments, manual SSL, etc (see this blog post). Learning a little about how the web works, the fun way :)
- BvngeeAddons: my personal set of client-side fixes & features for Minecraft, including screenshot management utils, improved boss bar rendering, bug fixes, and more! Made purely for myself to resolve my own annoyances with the game.
- CoordinateMod and AntiAutoJump: my first two Minecraft mods, at somewhere around 16k total downloads (released in 2020@age 13)
- Oracle SMP: my technical Minecraft server (redstone, farms, automation, etc - all the nerdy stuff). Running since April 2020
- A bunch of other stuff (see GitHub): hackathons, AOCs, scripts, other Minecraft mods, and more
