Projects

Just Intonation Tools

A web app in progress implementing interactive music theory tools based on my dissertation. I started this project to learn Python, using Django for the backend and React for the frontend.

Currently, the app features a set calculator and a 3D ratio lattice generator. The calculator, built with custom Python classes, operates on set theory from my dissertation, enabling number input, set calculation, and transposition. The lattice generator uses Three.js to visualize ratios as spheres in an interactive 3D model. More features and advanced functionalities are planned as development continues.

Express TinyApp

TinyApp is a full-stack web application built with Node.js and Express that allows users to shorten long URLs, similar to bit.ly. This is version 2 of a previously built app during my time in bootcamp. TinyApp runs an Express.js backend server, uses EJS to build all views, and Bootstrap to style them. It integrates a PostgreSQL database to store users and URLs, and uses bcrypt and express-session to manage authentication and user permissions. Some very basic testing with Chai is also implemented.
