Howdy, I'm Josh

A maker, project manager & tech nerd in central Texas. I build things people can play with: custom-printed LEGO parts, capsule toy machines, and I even dabble in video game development. I also help run the largest LEGO convention in Texas.

Behind the scenes

On my bench right now

  • Getting Keepers of the Crown game ready for Steam
  • Just diving into the world of lasers and still learning a lot
  • I just launched my Minifig Lab on UV Monster

How I'm using AI

  • Minifig Lab lets UV Monster customers design their own minifig art
  • I've been revamping the Brick Rodeo website registration system and backend
  • Development for Keepers of the Crown (tower defense game)
  • Automating my UV printing workflow, from Illustrator art to print-ready files
  • A few SaaS sites I used are now recreated for internal use only with my needs first
