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
