The Gist
I developed a prototype for a mission-critical application that would report vital health metrics of soldiers in combat.
I researched biometrical sensors that may predict common fatal injuries in battle. From this research, we could develop an application that would increase the survival rates of combat soldiers.
I designed and developed a UI that received a stream of simulated health metrics and displayed the updates on a visual model.
The final research and development were submitted to the United States' Department of Defense.
Technology
The UI was built with Vue. Some server-side code was written in Node that integrated with a Python server that emitted the simulated health metrics, communicating to the client via Socket.IO, a WebSocket framework. This birthed a Medium post I wrote on the subject called Getting Started With Vue.js & Socket.io.
There was a growing interest in Scala amongst my peers. I dabbled into it myself and ended up writing another blog post called Getting Started With Scala.js for the JavaScript Developer
