I ship products from end to end.

I'm Nick — a software engineer in Houston. At HEXA Containment, shipping end to end means everything between the firmware on a cellular gateway and the report a customer reads. I'm the founding engineer at Mahalo, I work AI-natively, and I build things for fun — most recently a RuneScape plugin that hit the front page of r/2007scape. I write about the craft here.

Projects
Ka-Ching! RuneLite plugin: every spell, arrow, and charge rings up its GE cost with a coin jingle. Front page of r/2007scape. Overgassed AR-15 gas-system simulator in the browser — transmission-line physics, calibrated against published test data. Mahalo Charity-discovery platform. Founding engineer — built and operated end to end.
