Experience
- RC 455 | Web-Based Synthesizerhttp://barakchamo.github.io/rc455
RC 455 is a fully-functional additive synthesizer built completely with web technologies.
- High-performance GraphQL | ReactNext 2016https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c35bj1AT3X8
A talk that was given at ReactNext 2016 about optimizing GraphQL performance. The talk discusses the weaknesses of GraphQL relating to large nested queries and explains the underlying JavaScript mechanisms used in DataLoader to enable query caching and coalescing.
- PokeQL | Pokemon in GraphQL
A full GraphQL implementation of the Pokemon API. This was built for a GraphQL talk given at NodeFest in Tokyo—PokeQL is a complete reference implementation of the Pokemon API used for educational purposes and provides a ready-made graph schema for exploration and testing of the graph query language.
- Browser LAN Party! | CampJS 2016https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CQNwo2yXp5o
A talk that was given at CampJS 2016, Sydney, Australia. The talk introduced my effort to build a multi-device, serverless, multiplayer game. The game uses WebRTC to connect multiple mobile devices to a central desktop "console" and does so without a traditional signaling server, but direct WebBluetooth connection.
The talk reviews both WebRTC and WebBluetooth and how a real-time ad-hoc connection can be established over the web.
