HackTube automatically analyzes every YouTube video you watch, targeting comments which are degrading and offensive. It is constantly checking the page for hateful comments, so if the user loads more comments, the extension will pick those up. It then blocks comments which it deems damaging to the user, listing the total number of blocked comments at the top of the page. This process is all based on user preference, since the user chooses which types of comments (sexist, racist, homophobic, etc) they do not want to see. It is important to note that the user can disable the effects of the extension at any time. HackTube is not meant to censor constructive criticism; rather, it combats comments which are purely malicious in intent.

Succinct transforms written essays into visual presentations. It generates images for each slide based on the essay title, and converts essays, paragraphs, and sentences to bullet format. Once the slide title and text are pasted into the box, a slide appears; at the top is the title. On the left, four relevant images appear (all of which can be copied and pasted to the student's choice of presentation software). On the right, bullet points with relevant words are shown; each bullet point corresponds with a sentence from the text, so the longer the text, the more bullets that will be generated.

Built with the Google Cloud Natural Language API and Flickr API.

Spotify World Music is an independent project I created after being inspired by my World Music GE course. It visualizes the Top 50 Charts of many different countries around the world and lets you play track samples via an easy-to-use, intuitive design.

Built with Node.js and the Spotify Web API.

iRoamba is a web control dashboard which serially links to the iRobot Create 2 unit. It enables the user to administer directional commands, such as "drive forward," "drive backward," "turn left," and "turn right," to the unit and also visualizes important data which it receives from the unit's many sensors: cliff sensors, bump sensors, a wall sensor, and wheel drop sensors. On top of that, it allows the user to see the total distance traveled, the current angle of the unit, the rotary encoder counts from both wheels, and the instantaneous velocity of the unit. It also shows a tracking map which dynamically updates with the path of the unit in real-time. All of this information is displayed in a visually pleasing, interactive web page which is responsive and fits on one screen.

Built with the Roomba Open Interface, Plotly, and Socket.io.

Travelyze is a travel application that can analyze your trip. It combines the power of Amadeus’ Extensive Flight Search with the elegance of the Google Maps API to provide you with important information about flight prices, tourist attractions, and popular landmarks, all on one easy-to-use website.To use Travelyze, first enter the location of a place you would like to visit. Next, enter the location you are currently at, and Travelyze will generate a Google Map image that shows you the start and end locations of your trip. After you confirm your choices, Travelyze will use Plotly’s graph API to create a user-friendly, interactive graph that shows you how airline prices will fluctuate throughout the year.

Built with the Amadeus API, Google Maps API, and Plotly.

Speed Trap is a device which measures how fast an object is moving as it passes two sensors and then relays that speed to a remote device. I built the circuit using an Arduino Uno, breadboard, LED screen, and phototransistors; enabled the transfer of bits to a remote device using a TTL/RS-232 converter; and implemented a rotary encoder and speaker and programmed the entire device in C.

Built with Arduino.
