Featured Project

GW150914: Multisensory Astrophysics Experience

Translates the raw LIGO strain data from the first observed black-hole merger into synchronized audio, visuals, and mobile haptic feedback — no app install required.

Real-time PWM haptic synchronization via navigator.vibrate(), driven by a Hilbert-transform amplitude envelope sampled at 20 Hz.

Featured Project

BigKuery Calculator

An arbitrary-precision scientific calculator with a Pratt-parser math engine, symbolic variables, and an infinite whiteboard canvas of draggable calculation cards.

Multi-pass, bidirectional variable solver — defining a variable on one card live-updates every other card referencing it.
