Designed and coded an entire React front end for Zoom Rooms control client. Created C++ communications protocols for communication with Zoom Rooms. Modified: Angular UI to wrap Zoom Rooms controls in existing UI on the front end, iOS Objective-C code to include custom WebView to house the React Zoom Rooms module, and Android Java code to include custom WebView to house React Zoom Rooms module.

Designed and coded the Watchdog module for our IoT devices that run Ubuntu on-prem for customers. The Watchdog monitors the primary process, contains heuristics to solve common customer-related problems, and notifies the Cloud via AMQP messages when triggered.

Worked with a local coffee cafe in Tel Aviv, Israel, to provide an online experience accessed via QR codes printed and distributed at each table in the coffee shop. The QR code allowed customers to access a portal that allowed for no-contact ordering, wait-stuff communication, and other interactions which would typically have required high-contact in-person interactions. This project had a component as well that interfaced with the existing tech stack in the cafe which included existing custom-build iPads where we ran a custom-designed iOS app to display push notifications from the new online ordering system we provided.

Created an online shopping experience for an Israeli NGO to enable people who would normally visit their clothing donation centers in-person to have a beautiful and curated shopping experience online. This allows the NGO to continue providing for their local population's needs in the current pandemic. The NGO project also has an online component for donors to make either clothing or cash donations online.

A React-based personal safety app that allows a user to set a timer in the app for when they might be potentially in danger, such as walking home alone at night. The timer is tracked in the cloud, along with the active GPS coordinates of the user. If the user fails to stop the timer before it expires, an SOS is sent to the user's preselected emergency contacts with their GPS location. If the user stops the timer, no SOS is sent. While the timer is active, the user's live GPS feed is monitored by a neural network on the server to predict if the user has started running. If the user starts running before the timer expires, the SOS is sent immediately.

A colorfully animated and delightful visual game based on the Pixi.js graphics engine provides the user with a diversionary experience playing with a cat that enjoys sleeping and can fire lasers and throw grenades wreak havoc on levels. Physics are simulated in real-time using the Matter.js engine, and users compete on a shared global scoreboard to earn the most points. Points earned can be redeemed to unlock additional levels or other in-game assets to cause destruction on levels further. Integrated Stripe Payments API allows users to purchase items directly or unlock levels without having to earn points.

A React-based time-management app that reminds the user to log the things they've spent time on during the day with push reminders, and provides rich visual feedback on how well they have met their goals. Uses a simple Node.js back-end with integrated predictive analytics to aid in reminders.
