The person behind DoubleAAGuy.
Builder of small, sharp tools. I'd rather ship something a little rough that solves a real problem than polish something nobody needed.
Hi, I'm Asher.
I'm a developer who gravitates toward the parts of software most people skip: the automation script that saves five minutes a day, the tiny calculator that a community actually bookmarks. My GitHub is a pretty honest snapshot of that — nine repos ranging from an offline voice-command shutdown tool to a self-hosted class scheduler.
I don't specialize in one language so much as one instinct: find the annoying manual step, or the missing tool, and go build it. That's taken me through PowerShell, Python, Java, C, JavaScript, GDScript, and whatever else the problem called for.
Where the name comes from
DoubleAAGuy isn't a random handle — it's just my initials, doubled. Asher Aldis. Two A's. "Double-A Guy." My own default GitHub avatar even spells it out in plain text, which felt too honest to replace with something fancier — so this site is the fancier version instead.
How I like to work
- Ship something runnable first, then iterate — a working v1 beats a perfect spec.
- Prefer offline-first and dependency-light tools when a problem allows it (see: Voice Shutdown).
- Self-host what I build when it makes sense — AutoClassScheduler runs live on my own server, not just in a README.
- Read the source of the thing I'm depending on. Half these repos exist because I ported, wrapped, or fixed something someone else built.
Project timeline
GodotTogetherEasyInstallation
Jumped into an open-source Godot multiplayer tool to fix installation issues blocking other users — first public contribution on the account.
AutoClassScheduler
Built and deployed a full scheduling engine for schools — import teachers, subjects, and student requests, get a working timetable out. Self-hosted it publicly so others could use it without setup.
BeamMods
Forked and explored a BeamNG modding project.
EasyAFK + EasyAFK-Server
Wrote a Minecraft mod in Java to stop AFK kicks, paired with a Python-based companion server for extra control.
myscripts / myscripts_mac
An ever-growing personal collection of Batch and Shell scripts for day-to-day system automation on Windows and macOS.
bone-blaze-calculator
A small, static HTML calculator for a Minecraft crafting problem — no framework, no build step, just fast and useful.
voice-shutdown
Most recent work: an offline voice-activated shutdown tool using Windows' built-in Speech Recognizer.
