Terry Davis
Free and anonymous chat therapy with pseudo therapists available 24/7.
Dedicated to Terry A. Davis, a brilliant but eccentric software developer, crafted Temple OS, a unique operating system renowned for its simplicity and quirky charm. Known for his visionary zeal and unconventional approach, Davis combined his passion for programming with his deep religious faith to create an OS that runs entirely on 16-bit code and features a custom-built programming language. Despite the challenges he faced, his creation stands as a testament to his extraordinary talent and the boundless possibilities of code.
My Computing Highlights
Third Semester - (current)
This website
Published this site within a few hours. My web dev workflow is becoming more streamlined.
“I believe that computers, at their core, are processors, and for years, the fundamental principles of modern computing have been obscured. If you have not made an effort to learn computing independently and rely only on your formal education, you might never fully understand the core concepts of computing.” - Soup or Cereal
Second Semester - June/July 2024
Self-learned real-time web development
Created a 'website MMORPG demo' that is a foundation for performant real-time combat with anti-cheat logic integrated.
First Semester - April/May 2024
Self-learned modern web development
Made a free online therapy service that provides 24/7 anonymous chat therapy with pseudo therapists, dedicated to Terry Davis.
Late-20s

Because I could not land an interview and based on my prior knowledge, I obtained over 20 certifications and completed a coding bootcamp (while driving a semi-truck for income).
Mid-20s
25+ video games
Over 20 games officially released on Nintendo Wii U® and New Nintendo 3DS®, most popular categories were Edutainment and Casino.
50+ desktop programs
Most popular were file encryptors and private web browsers on the Windows Store.
100+ mobile apps on Symbian, Blackberry, iPhone, Android and Windows Phone
Most popular was a novelty app that trended for a few weeks on the Android Market.
Early-20s
Won a mobile app development contest
This gave me the confidence to go from driving a semi-truck to self-publishing software.
Ported site for charity
Ported a static website with thousands of pages/files to Wordpress within 48 hours.
Teens
Operated a remotely popular coding blog
Lead to me landing a paid position to curate and write content for enterprise-grade developers.
