Personal Projects

Here you will find some of the projects and personal interests I’ve been exploring recently outside of work and music.

Polycross

PolyCross is a crossword puzzle generator with a multilingual twist.

Create a crossword in a single language, and it plays like a classic crossword. Choose two or more languages, and PolyCross becomes something different: a puzzle where words can intersect across languages, scripts, and alphabets.

Each word keeps its original spelling, script, clue language, and writing direction. Behind the scenes, PolyCross uses cross-language sound mapping to make multilingual crossings understandable for players who know both languages.

Souvenir Coin Collection

I’m an avid collector in my free time. I’ve been collecting coins, stamps, miniature drink bottles, movies, music, video games, and souvenir coins at one point or another. I am currently in the process of digitizing my catalogs, and so far have managed to convert my souvenir coin collection, which also happens to be my newest collection. You can browse the collection in the gallery here!
