WELCOME TO MY DIGITAL WORKSHOP

PK

Applications, Design & Engineering

USEFUL APPS.
STRANGE GAMES.
QUESTIONABLE AMOUNTS OF LORE.

I build tools for work, love, life, and the occasional magical creature.

Warming up…

HALLOWEEN FAMILY EXPANSION PACK

MY FAMILY. VIKING EDITION.

It's that time of year again where awesome ideas become massive piles of filament poop.

16-bit-style PK, Gothic Viking Tiffany, and their five children around a Halloween campfire, with PK’s personal rune on the three shields and both banners, colorful campfire flames, and bats overhead.
Seven party members. One campfire. Absolutely no chance of a quiet side quest.

PK · Rune-shield warrior. I rolled for sensible decisions. Critical miss.

PKade Labs: PK Applications, Design & Engineering. It is where I turn real problems, weird ideas, and entirely unreasonable amounts of curiosity into apps, games, tools, and tiny living worlds.

Some projects help you work. Some help you take care of yourself and the people you love. Some let you raise magical creatures with surprisingly strong opinions about snacks.

And one of them will eventually run DOOM, because apparently every screen must pass the ancient trial.

Built by PK. Powered by curiosity. Held together with code and suspiciously high confidence.

APPS, EXPERIMENTS & OTHER GOOD IDEAS

CHOOSE YOUR NEXT SIDE QUEST

Some people make a normal portfolio. I built several tiny universes and gave each one its own save system.

In development

PKaGotchi

All the creature raising. None of the relationship homework.

Hatch a Heartling, discover favorite snacks, explore strange places, and carry its Legacy into the next beginning. No partner required. The creature will still develop opinions.

Project preview

CodeTank

Know how much AI fuel you have left before your project drinks the entire tank.

PK dancing

I got sick of running out of debug juice while I was pew pewing and I needed a gauge to know when I was being too much of a giga chad and derizzling my rizzler by overizzing ohio's. Anyways, this little god tickler is straight fire, no cap, zero sus, all buss.

Coming later

DOOM

Because every screen must eventually face the ancient trial.

The emotional-support dragon will remain outside. Probably.

A future HeartLink game-platform experiment using legally supplied WAD files, touch controls, isolated saves, and a completely unnecessary amount of determination. This is a plan, not a playable port. No game files are provided.

WORK IN PROGRESS, PERSONALITY INCLUDED

CURRENTLY IN THE LAB

This is where sensible planning and wildly unnecessary feature depth attempt to coexist.

Live test

HeartLink Web

Two people, real inboxes, one shared little world. The current test is for Tiff and I.

In development

HeartLink AMOLED

Bringing the world along on the Waveshare 1.75-G, with a 466 × 466 AMOLED screen.

In development

PKaGotchi

A standalone Heartling adventure, with its own save and an entire life worth of snacks.

Project preview

CodeTank

Android and Wear OS fuel gauges for my coding-assistant allowance.

PLAYER ONE, MOSTLY

BEHIND THE KEYBOARD

Father of five. Builder of apps. Survivor of paperwork. Frequent over-engineer. Occasional space watermelon.

I make things because solving a problem is satisfying... and making the solution slightly ridiculous is usually more fun.

Pixel-art PK in a spaceship, holding a smiling carved watermelon over his face, with a softly glowing green forearm rune.
Space is vast. Watermelon is temporary. The bit must continue.

A YEARLY CELEBRATION

P’Khalla!

March 8 · Every year

00Days00Hours00Minutes00Seconds

Strength. Integrity. Resilience. Pride. Family. Honor. Valor. And PK!

Another year of showing up, standing tall, and loving my people. March 8 is my excuse to celebrate all of it.

WHY DOES ANY OF THIS EXIST?

Because software does not have to feel sterile. A useful tool can have personality. A self-care app can make you laugh. A couples app can raise a dragon. A status monitor can look like a fuel gauge.

And a tiny heart-shaped computer can apparently become an entire game platform if nobody stops me soon enough.

PKade is where practical ideas and deeply unnecessary lore meet in the middle. Usually something useful survives.

PICK A PROJECT. START A SIDE QUEST.

Explore the apps, meet the creatures, read the origin story, or just admire the fact that the watermelon made it into space.
