cultural software + playful systems
Building small, curious software that preserves stories and makes games feel new.
I am Iz. I like cultural archives, remixing game rules, and tools that make community knowledge easier to share. This site collects the pieces I am most excited about right now.
Jamaican Proverbs API
In progress
Phase 10: Caribbean Heroes
Playable ruleset + pieces
Selected projects
Two projects that reflect the themes I care most about: cultural preservation and playful remixing.
A living archive of Jamaican proverbs with translations and meaning so the sayings stay accessible and alive.
- API-first cultural archive
- Translations + usage context
- Community curation roadmap
A remixed Phase 10 ruleset with new phases, character lore, and printable pieces for family game nights.
- Custom phases + difficulty curve
- Printable card pieces
- Playtested with family
Interests and threads
The subjects that keep pulling me back to the keyboard.
About
I am a software engineer and former engineering manager who now spends time on smaller, intentional projects. I like to pair technical systems with cultural meaning, whether that is an API for proverbs or a game ruleset built around Caribbean heroes.
