According to my wife, I am a nerd. I love learning new things, traveling to new places, experiencing new cultures, meeting new people, listening to new music and discovering new podcasts. I moved to Nashville in 2006 and absolutely love this city.
I began my career as a software developer on July 6, 2015. I have learned how to enjoy small wins like spotting a stray 'funciton' and have learned some fascinating things a web app can do. Over the past 12 months, I have written thousands of lines of code, worked 70+ hours per week, had a second baby, sold a house and bought a house. Needless to say, I can multi-task.
Here are some examples of my most recent work.
CityStreamed is an app that allows users to record a 15 second audio clip and play it back with a Soundcloud playlist streaming in the background.
I used Web Audio API to capture the audio and generate the visualization. I converted the blob object into a base64 string and saved the audio to Firebase. This app was built using AngularJS for the framework.
Oratr is a web app designed to improve a users public speaking ability by generating realtime feedback on vocal cadence and dynamics.
Oratr is being built in C# using the .NET framework. I am working right now on implementing speech recognition. I am learning the benefits of test driven development and data mocking as I continue working on this project.
This is a small app which translates basic Christmas greetings from english into four different languages with audio of translated text.
This was my first exposure to modular programming and implementing Immediately Invoked Function Expressions (IIFE's).
This was an app I contributed to which retrieved data from the OpenWeatherMap API and displayed it to the user.
Dependencies were loaded with RequireJS. Promises were implemented using the Q API
