Projects
Some little ditties of mine.
WebRTC Device Checker
Created while working at Weblio in Japan. Helps users test & troubleshoot their video/audio devices, as well as video/audio bandwidth settings. Allowed preemptive test of setup before entering online lesson room. Utilized a fork of PeerJS and manipulated the MediaStream API to create a WebRTC video call with oneself.
Tech Used:
Medium Code Highlighter
Chrome extension for adding simple and easy code syntax highlighting to Medium articles. Highlight theme can be changed on-the-fly, via popup UI, from a handful of popular themes. Works on all Medium articles, regardless of domain.
