These are artifacts of my experiences learning, creating, and exploring. They're not always polished or completed, but they've shaped who I am today.

I made Dice of Sending, for when your dungeon master wants you to roll online but you dislike digital dice. This was a goofy little project I worked on. It's fully open source and you can check it out here: github.com/TravisBumgar...

"It is tempting, if the only tool you have is a hammer, to treat everything as if it were a nail."

As a software engineer, I view my life and its problems through this lens. The result - every problem is solved with a website or an app.

How hard can sorting colors be?
Ooh, an article on it.
... a very long article. 🙃
I've been enjoying the rabbit holes that @photopalettes.com has me exploring

Thanks @alanzucconi.com!

How it started vs how it's going.

Still work to do but making good progress.

Every time I think I’ve figured out #CSS, something happens moments later that challenges that belief.

User testing is easy when you're also a user. However, you're "a user" and not "the user". Sometimes I forget. The result? Edge cases. A photo of a cat, poorly cropped. I'm excited for this new OG tag gracefully handles many more aspect ratios.
