A browser-based MIDI synthesizer. The synthesizer leverages the Web Midi API to allow users to plug in a 37 key USB MIDI keyboard; However, if the user does not have access to a MIDI piano, they may also use their mouse via the virtual piano keyboard. HTML5 Canvas was used to create two visualizations, CSS3 for styling and Flexbox for layout. The Web Audio API provides the mechanisms for sound creation and manipulation/synthesis , including an envelope generator and filter controls. React.js was used to organize the code into maintainable and extensible components. Deployed to Surge.

A group project to track Near Earth Objects. Chrome Service Workers was used to send a daily push notification of current NEOSs; they can then click the notification to see the list and then click each NEO to see its stats (including relative size, velocity, and whether it is a potential threat or not). Angular was used for the front-end and it communicates with a RESTful Rails API. Postgres provides the data persistence and Bootstrap and custom CSS create the style and layout for the app. Deployed to Heroku.
