PROJECTS
DartSynth Live Site | Github
Interactive audio sequencer built using Dart, JavaScript, Tone.js, HTML, and CSS.
Accelerated development through the use of Dart’s strict type system and live reload that made bugs incredibly easy to spot in real-time.
Formulated interface between Tone.js library and Dart components through dispatching custom DOM events with Dart, and intercepting them with JavaScript, expediting application development through bypassing the pricey alternative of porting the Tone.js library to Dart.

Roastia Live Site | Github

Implemented custom debounced-search React hook, resulting in a lightened server load with a more than 50% decrease in requests sent during searches.

A community-based volunteer task tracker built using JavaScript, MongoDB, Express, React, Redux, and Node.js (MERN).
