Productivitee

Chrome Extension

Productivitee is a chrome extension that allows the user to monitor exactly how long they are spending on unproductive websites. The extension can be interacted with by clicking on the icon in the top right hand corner of your chrome browser. When installed and switched on, the extension will begin tracking the amount of time the user spends on a list of "unproductive" websites.

Due to changes in Javascript that dictate the maximum number of calls you can make to a function in a single minute of real time, the extension needs to updated.

Interests

Apart from being incredibly passionate about music in my professional life, I also compose & produce music on Ableton Live in my free time. I have built instruments using breadboards, arduinos, and Ableton. I sang Tenor in the Harvard Callbacks a cappella group at school. I also was the Business and Tour manager of the group.

Apart from music, I play squash and golf in my free time. I also love indie video games like Undertale and Earthbound. Maybe one day I'll develop my own video game! (and make the music?)
