Sound Bath

A ambient sound and white noise app I created to instantly tune into the sounds of nature when the background noise of the city gets too distracting.

The app has separate volume levels for each track, plays music on the lock screen, can be streamed to external speakers via Bluetooth or Airplay, and can be paused/played on the lock screen.

Made with SwiftUI.

Bread Book

An ad-free recipe app made during a time when all of America was at home baking. The app caters to bakers by showing measurements in grams and displaying baker's percentages for each ingredient.

The app features a handful of my favorite bread recipes, like Focaccia, Croissant, Sourdough, and Scone.

Users to add their own recipes, upload photos from their camera roll or open the camera to capture the moment their bread comes out of the oven.

Made with Flutter.

My latest project is the very page you're currently browsing!

I wanted to build a framework that could deliver the speeds of a statically generated site, but could still be edited anywhere and anytime without the need of a laptop with a build system setup.

The idea of having the entire site be accessible in the browser has always appealed to me. An entire site in a single file. To me, that feels highly portable and organized, and when I read that SQLite can deliver files faster than the filesystem because it already has an open file descriptor, I decided to give it a try! This entire site only contains 2 files: a database file and a go webserver.

Of course, the Go code does more than just serve HTTP. It automatically compresses images, assembles handlebars templates. and minifies html/css/js. But from the client-perspective, it just grabs minified html pages from the database, and delivers them up.

Last Song

The Last Song was an entry in the Ludum Dare 47 Game Jam (Fall '20).

The theme of the Jam was "Stuck in a loop" and I decided to create a musical loop, each new game represents a new measure of music.

The player falls from the sky and touches floating shapes as they rush toward the ground. Each shape represents a different instrument, like a harp, violin, glockenspiel, etc. and each color represents a different note.

When the player hits the ground, the restart at the beginning and can hit new notes to add to the notes they played during last round. The game never ends, allowing the player to continue layering notes.

The game was built during 48 hours using the Godot game engine. It was my first time using 3D.
