Nonsense Waffle with Meteor

Demo: nonsense-waffle.meteor.com Repo: github.com/kalinr/nonsense-waffle Nonsense Waffle is a word game that I started building as a personal project in February of 2015 using the new real-time Node.js based framework called Meteor. In this game, players compete by compiling randomly generated words to create funny phrases then try to sell their ideas in the most humorous ways possible, in sort of an advanced like button and popularity challenge with a lot of role-playing elements that’s all based on silly nonsense. The game is in its infancy right now, but I do have a working demo up and running…

Samsung's Milk Music at Smartek21

In December of 2014 I joined a small team at Smartek21, JavaScripting for Samsung’s Milk Music web player.

I made a jQuery and a vanilla JavaScript version. This plunker uses the vanilla version.

Accretive Tech, Streamate.com

From August 2011 to July 2014 I worked for Accretive Technology Group, maintaining their flagship product, a live streaming adult entertainment platform, duplicated over 1500+ websites. I started as a Flash ActionScript developer, maintaining and adding features to their performer client, of which I don’t have any screenshots, as well as the user client shown in this first image. You can also see the user client by going to Streamate.com in a desktop browser and clicking on any performer. Warning: this is an NSFW site. The screenshots on this page…
