Android & iOS Developer 📱 · Web Developer 🌐 · Hackathon Enjoyer 🏆

I'm a mobile developer who builds for Android (Kotlin) and iOS (Swift) by day, and dabbles in just about everything else by night — Rust, C/C++, TypeScript, and a healthy collection of emulators, game engines, and CLI tools. I love shipping things, learning new stacks, and the occasional weekend hackathon.

When I'm not writing apps, I'm usually reverse-engineering and reviving an old game I love. ⚔️

A big chunk of my free time goes toward preserving FINAL FANTASY XIV v1.23b — the original 2010 1.0 release, before A Realm Reborn. It's a piece of MMO history that the world otherwise lost, and bringing it back to life is my favorite playground.

• ⚙️ Garlemald-Server — A Rust port of Project Meteor Server: a private-server emulator for FFXIV 1.0. Lobby, world, map, and web services in a single Cargo workspace, backed by SQLite and driving 1,142 upstream Lua content scripts.
• 🚀 Garlemald-Client — A cross-platform Rust launcher for FFXIV v1.23b private servers (macOS / Linux / Windows).
• 🔬 meteor-decomp & decomp-agents — Decompilation tooling for digging into the original client.
• 🍎 XIV-1.0-Apple-Silicon-Installer — Getting the 1.0 client running on Apple Silicon.

🌐 It all lives at garlemaldsoftware.com — docs, idiot-proof quick-start guides, and downloads for every project in one place.

This profile takes some inspiration from yumiaura and her followme project — a tool that discovers GitHub repositories, grades them with a local Ollama model, then follows promising authors and stars strong projects. It's a great reminder that the best part of GitHub is the people. If you're building something cool, say hi — I'm always happy to follow along. ⭐

Thanks for stopping by — and if you make it back to Eorzea, I'll see you in 1.0. ✨
