I build things in cycles — Blender addons, Unreal Engine plugins, web apps, and hardware prototypes — then write fantasy novels in the gaps. Based in County Westmeath, Ireland with my wife Gené and our five daughters.
I'm an independent developer, fiction author, and homeschooling father of five daughters, based in Mullingar, County Westmeath, Ireland. I operate under Siler Technology — a one-person studio that ships tools and projects across multiple disciplines.
My work spans Blender addons, Unreal Engine 5 plugins, single-file web apps, hardware prototypes, and the Sky Bridge Saga — a multi-book steampunk fantasy series co-authored with my sister Allyson Siler.
I build in cycles. Each project gets full attention until it's done, then I move to the next problem worth solving. Everything is made to be useful, playable, or both.
A steampunk fantasy series set on Stella — a world modeled on the Pleiades star cluster. Seven regions on the continent of Pleione, an ancient Blackthorn family legacy, and a story that spans multiple books and two authors.
The Sky Bridge Saga is a collaborative project. Jacob writes Book One and anchors the series structure; co-author Allyson Siler contributed Book Five, Fallen Stars, as a NaNoWriMo draft.
Whether you're interested in a plugin, an addon, a collaboration, or just want to talk about steampunk fantasy world-building — I'm easy to reach.
