As an exercise in sound design, I took a clip from Naughty Dog's "The Last of Us", threw away all the original audio, and recreated the sound degign from scratch. I personally created and recorded all the sounds, utilizing the Zoom H1n microphone and interlaced them over the video using REAPER. Make sure to listen with headphones on to fully experience the sound space.
Phonote is a mobile notetaking app designed for students to help them efficiently organize their notes for papers into a single source. Take advantage of Phonote's image to text converter to quickly save notes from lecture slides and textbooks and even automatically generate MLA formatted citations for books with nothing more than the name of the book itself. These notes can even be saved to the cloud using Google Drive integration to create backups or even share your notes with friends! Developed as a team of five, Phonote was built in Java using Android Studio and is compatible with any device using Android 5.0 or later. The video below serves as a feature dump to show everything our app can do.

When Beat Saber launched as an instant success back in May of 2018, it didn't take long for the community to figure out methods to insert playable custom songs into the game files. Thanks to the Beat Saber Modding Group for creating their open source tools for song creation, I excitedly began creating my very own beatmaps. I first released a custom mapping for Macklemore's Can't Hold Us in May 2018 which as received 600k+ views and 100k+ downloads followed by Porter Robinson's Lionhearted in January 2019 with over 8,500 downloads to date.
If you'd like to experience modded Beat Saber yourself and potentially try out these songs, Check out the Beat Saber Modding Group Discord to get started!
