Wacky-Wiki
- open in new tab -
Wacky-Wiki is a modern twist of the nostalgic 90's activity 'Mad Libs'. Like Mad Libs, the user inputs words by parts of speech, and these words are injected into an article. Unlike Mad Libs, the user can input any topic, yielding endless possibilities of wacky results.
This application harnesses the power of Wikipedia's API, with which the user can search any topic and yield the same results they would get from Wikipedia's search engine. The UI was created mostly by raw CSS with a little help from Bootstrap. Data from this site is saved to local storage, allowing the user pick up where they left off.
Get wacky!

Invest wisely!

Ultimate Invasion
One of my favorite projects to work on, "Ultimate Invasion" is an Amazon Prime TV Show set to air 2-22-22. In this series, aliens from planet Zorka secretly invade Earth to explore the complicated experiences of human nature.
I was the sole sound designer for this show and after submitting my "Zorka Theme" idea to Director Dr. Greg LeSar, I was given the opportunity to be a composer as well. My music is featured in all 8 episodes.
Zorka Theme
Music/SFX/Dialogue demo
"AngryBots" was given to me as a soundless Unity project.
I composed a vertical score and created sound effects using a mix of digital synths, home-recorded foley, and audio samples from online collections. I borrowed the help of two 'voice actors' for dialogue.
Using Wwise, I compiled all audio elements into the game engine.
Foley/SFX demo
With a short "The Last of Us" gameplay video as my canvas, I recorded foley in my backyard to recreate all in-game SFX.
I recorded myself crushing leaves, splashing in a puddle, and kicking a trash can.
Vertical Score demo
I used this "Uncharted" clip to get more vertical score practice.
All instruments are virtual from my expansive VST collection. I created a five-layer vertical score and mixed it alongside gameplay footage to simulate the adding/subtracting of the layers in response to the fluctuating intensity of gameplay.
UI Sounds demo
I recreated UI sounds for "Cooking Fever" using a mix of virtual instruments and audio samples.
