Jesse McBride / Orlando, Florida

hi, I’m Jesse.

I make games and small tools under APT404.

things I’m making

under APT404

Tomato Knight

Focus sessions restore a little world called Everpatch: gardens, villages, and a map to explore with a small knight.

Say What

A game about the people in the room. Answer questions, vote on superlatives, and see what your friends say.

A yoga companion I’m building for choosing a flow and getting on with the practice.

Based on plays captured from Spotify’s recent-history feed, which returns up to 50 plays per check. Checks run daily, so this is a sample, not a complete listening history. Repeat plays are plays beyond the first captured play of each song. Artist counts credit each artist on a track. The monthly timeline grows with future checks; dates use UTC.

about the shelf

the work & school bit

I’m a staff software engineer at Apple, with a background in embedded security. I like turning complicated systems into something people can understand and use.

Before Apple, I built web applications and education tools at the University of Central Florida, where I led development of CanvasAPI. I studied information technology at UCF and earned an MBA at Rollins.

Outside work: yoga, learning Spanish, Tolkien, space, and games with a strong sense of place. I make my own things under APT404.

Software, music, and small worlds.
