Hi, I'm Jack!
Who?
An aspiring software developer, Linux & neovim user, NixOS addict,
and technical Minecrafter. I'm interested in all things technology
but especially systems programming and low level software. I'm
also a first-year Computer Science student at UC Santa Cruz! 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?
Some projects and things:
- 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 (over very little time). 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 client-side fixes & features for Minecraft, including screenshot management utils, improved boss bar rendering, bug fixes, and more. My most polished mod, yet never uploaded publicly
- CoordinateMod and AntiAutoJump: my first two Minecraft mods, at somewhere around 15k total downloads (released in 2020@age 13)
- Oracle SMP: my technical Minecraft server (redstone, perimeters, etc - all the nerdy stuff). Running since April 2021
- A bunch of other stuff (see GitHub): hackathons, AOCs, scripts, other Minecraft mods, and more
