A free, open-source combat console for D&D 5e Game Masters.
12 things & counting
I lead, write, build, and actually ship things.
I'm Nico. I lead a support team at Automattic and make small, sharp, occasionally silly things outside work: apps, developer tools, essays, and independent websites. These are the projects I care about right now.
Reusable skills for coding agents, built from workflows I use and shared for others to adapt.
BUT. Honestly
BlogEssays on work, software, and the web, written slowly and with care.
shotlist
npmRepeatable, annotated UI screenshots from declarative recipes. No code per shot.
Roll dice in JavaScript or TypeScript with a formula parser and a single roll() function backed by a CSPRNG with modulo-bias rejection.
A decade of WordPress and WooCommerce notes, preserved as a reference.
Side projects
Smaller things, still shipped.
Not everything needs a case study. These are smaller tools, experiments, and one-off sites I made to solve a problem, test an idea, or simply because they ought to exist.
- Reddit CSV ScraperA resumable Python tool that exports public subreddit posts and comment trees to CSV.
- GSC SnapshotAn npm package for creating reproducible, read-only Google Search Console snapshots.
- Carbonara.RocksOne opinionated recipe for authentic Italian carbonara—no cream.
- MediEvil.orgA fan-made directory for the wider MediEvil community.
- Free AI Voice GeneratorPrivate, in-browser text-to-speech with 28 voices and no account required.
- Steam Reviews ScraperA small Python utility that exports Steam product reviews to clean CSV files.
My experience
Sixteen years of code, tickets & leadership.
