About Me

I’m a full-stack developer interested in making the web look pretty. My experience as a web developer started by exploring a blend between my two favorite mediums: art and technology.

This website is my attempt at sharing the palette; what I have created for myself so far, and a roadmap to connect and contribute over the endless possibilities to collaborate 🥂

Projects

SpotLyrics

Spotify, but for Lyrics (Angular + Ionic)

Created a Spotify clone, that looks exactly like the Spotify app, but displays the song lyrics instead. Implemented in Angular + Ionic with integration of an external Musixmatch API. Learned extensive use of the RxJS library for reactively fetching search queries and lyrics. Lazy loaded components to improve initial load times for the application. Created a responsive design to support tablets and browsers.




Dynobar

Realtime priority sorting bar-chart

Created a React npm module that helps visualize live streams of data using a dynamic bar-chart. Worked on reducing re-renders and reflow of the HTML to improve FPS by 20% and creating easy-to-understand API documentation for the end-users. Created a web-socket to continuously fetch from the Twitter API




Subreddit Classifier

Who says what

Collaborated with a team to transform content from upto 3 subreddit’s into feature vectors and labels using scikit-learn. Used vectors to train a support vector classifier and classify which subreddit a comment may belong to. Examined learning curves vs ROC curves for analytics and tuning, achieving an average accuracy of ~76%

Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.
