Development isn't just a job for me, it's a passion. Playing with new tools, libraries, and protocols is my favorite hobby. Starting a career in development and surrounding myself with professionals who are better than me is how I continue to challenge myself. Currently, I'm enjoying the MEAN stack with Angular 2. I've also been exploring Unity3D, Unreal Engine, and Three.js.

Our app was a soundboarding application written in a full MEAN stack and Asterisk. The application allows you enter a friends phone number, your phone number, and a spoofed caller id. The application connects the prankster to the 'victim'. Once connected, the prankster can click on audio files within the application to play through the phone. When the call is completed, the audio can be saved, shared, and voted upon by other users on soundboardr.com
Social Jukebox
Our app idea was to build a Social Jukebox where people could add songs and vote up or down songs in the queue. We thought this idea would be great for Bars, parties or even offices. We didn't win, but we learned a lot and had fun doing it.
