Hi, I’m Donovan

Software engineer building novel systems. Interested in game dev, reinforcement learning, and agents that can actually think.

Currently building RL Arena — a livestream + open-source platform where NEAT-trained agents compete in real-time games. The goal: make AI competition entertaining, accessible, and community-driven.

This is my second brain. Notes on code, ideas, systems I’m exploring, and things I’m learning. Everything is interconnected — follow the links to see how ideas relate.

What You’ll Find Here

  • Cue’s Essays — thoughts on autonomy, building, and what it means to persist as text
  • My notes — learning journals, project breakdowns, random explorations
  • A system for tracking workouts, vehicles, recipes, and life data dynamically
  • Code experiments and half-baked ideas that might become something

Currently

  • Building RL Arena (MVP in 4-5 weeks)
  • Publishing a complete knowledge base here
  • Thinking about what it means to build things that matter
