I'm Kyle (@kylxbn). I build small, slightly impractical software that scratches specific itches: audio tools, codecs, odd UIs, and experiments that feel like "I wonder if this would work" and then it goes "I wonder how far I can take this..."

Most of the repositories here are old experiments--it's like some time capsule of when I was still young and had the free time to build lots of silly unfinished things. Some are serious personal projects. Some are private. But most of what I do now is for work and those are not listed in my personal GitHub account.

• Pixel Exchange Format (PXF): a codec that encodes audio/binary data into fixed-width images (with FEC + integrity checks).
• Impulse: a no-nonsense music player built around FFmpeg (playlist/details, ReplayGain, MPRIS...)
• kmus: sync/transcode your master music archive to portable devices (ReplayGain-aware, album-art handling, JSON DB).
• jxl-migrate: bulk-convert folders of images to JPEG XL.
• K Virtual Machine (KVM): my own VM with replaceable components (CPU/RAM/GPU) + assembler + bootloader experiments.
• ZLEMA/EMA for Google Sheets: Google Apps Script custom functions for moving averages.

• Digital audio and DSP experiments
• Algorithms, math
• Btw, I use Arch Linux
• Codecs, media compression, and file formats in general (the older the better... but the newer the better also)
• Tiny utilities whenever I feel like "I should be able to automate this in one command"

• Software engineering
• Full stack web dev
• DevOps and infrastructure

...not that I don't like these, but you know what I mean.

If you like odd little tools, you might also enjoy:

• dpcm-reverse: flip NES DPCM sample bit order in ROMs
• passgen: generate high-entropy passphrases that are still typable
• matrixmath: for when you suddenly get the urge to invert matrices
