Go Scripture

Developed a watchOS app and API leveraging vector embeddings for semantic search across the Bible. Enabled users to find scriptural content by intent and context from their wrists.

2024
Discord Profiler Bot

This bot uses web scraping and APIs to store statistics from several video games as user profiles inside a
database. This data is then retrievable by telling the bot what statistic to get and the Discord profile name.
The bot also provides leaderboards, adding a sense of competition alongside camaraderie for their community.

2023
GAN for Music Discrimination

Utilized a generative adversarial network (GAN) with genetic algorithms to distinguish and generate music samples.

2022
Music Theory Suite (Website)

Music Theory Suite is the beginning of a collection of software tools used for studying music theory. The goal is to naturally combine Chord Solver, web and iOS, as well as future tools that I create into one overarching piece of software.

This website holds additional features and is built differently. This website utilizes a machine learning model as the primary method of solving music theory questions.

2022
Vivace Theory (iOS and Android App)

Vivace Theory was created as a compliment to the other music theory projects listed. Using TypeScript and React Native, it is an app available on iOS and Android with over 4,000 total downloads and has a 4.5+ rating overall. This app simplifies music theory down to what it is at it’s core, relationships between music notes. With a calculator style interface, users can speedily calculate various patterns between notes.

2021
Chord Solver (iOS App)

Chord Solver iOS mobile app that I created as an additional resource for music theorists or music students. I considered what I had made with the Chord Solver website and decided that I wanted to create an app that added new features. Using Swift and SwiftUI, I created this app with three primary functions: the interval solver, scale builder, and chord solver. The interval solver is similar to what the website already does, however, the scale builder and chord solver, offer two new tools that offer even more help with music theory. All you have to do is type in one note, and the app will build the chord or scale of your choosing from the listed buttons. Chord Solver currently has over 19,000 installs and has a 4.5+ rating on the app store.
