About

I am a student at the Southern Alberta Insitute of Technology (SAIT).

My fascination lies primarily with operating system internals and systems-level tools. My goal is to bring the everyday computing environment of Linux/BSD nerds to visually impaired users. Some of my projects reflect this.

I have all of my code projects hosted on my Github.

Projects

epub-with-pinyin — I wrote a program to add Pinyin above Chinese characters in .epub files to assist myself and others learning Mandarin Chinese.

chess — I wrote a command-line chess game in C++. It is compileable on almost any system.

tait.tech — All the code for my website is open source.

Napolean — A work-in-progress suite of tools to be used in conjunction with a Raspberry Pi and camera to produce text files from scanned books.

subnetting — A one-night write of a tool to automatically calculate network subnet masks based on required hosts and base IP.

I also ocassionally put content on my lbry channel, and the blog I host on this site.

Ideas

Sometimes I have ideas that I haven’t done anything with yet. Those are here.
