Experience
Image Editor
The image editor enables the generation of images through GET variables. It was used to implement an online tool for interior design. This code lets you have the various assets in any dimension desired.
Music Generation
A server-side Go application that generates randomly music implementing an FM synthesizer. This is a suite of tools to help developers and musicians to explore the possibilities that this concept can give. The suite includes an FM synthesizer with unlimited oscillators and composable algorithms, visualization tools such as a spectrum viewer, waveform plot and phase shift viewer, an FIR filter to enable some equalization.
Anivoi
A web app that lets you create short cartoon animations initiated by a voice message.
The front-end records the voice message and gets the audio level peaks with a JavaScript library called P5. Then the audio file with the peaks array is sent to a PHP script that uses ImageMagick and FFmpeg to generate the short cartoon. There is also the option to alter your voice and create custom cartoons.
