Projects Experience

  • OpenTierBoy - Craft, rank and share your passion

    Jun, 2024 - Present

    OpenTierBoy is an open-source, non-commercial project.

    I started OpenTierBoy with a simple goal: to make tier list creation fun, free, and accessible. Something so simple shouldn't be suffocated with intrusive ads, and an overall poor user experience.

    OpenTierBoy takes a unique approach to tier list creation. Instead of relying on a centralized database where user-uploaded assets often become cluttered and irrelevant for most other users, we focus on providing a core set of high-quality, community-vetted templates.

    I’ve worked closely with Isaac as he was an engineering lead for a product we’re part of, and I must say that Isaac is a very experienced software engineer who has a keen eye for detail and sets very high engineering standards.

    Isaac would also often go above and beyond when it comes to engineering spikes to help bring some clarity for the product team, especially when it involves newer blockchain tech.

    Would love to work with Isaac again!
