Mobile & Web App for IOS / Android: Computer Science

Our organization is able to offer a virtual internship opportunity for (3) computer science students or teams. Hello! MusicalMoon is looking for some computer science expertise from students to participate in a cool / unique project building an app for IOS and Android, where it will sync up with the web application for desktop users. You can see some music content on YouTube.com/musicalmoon The primary focus for the student will be: The main coding languages will likely be React, Java, CSS, and HTML, although if you would like to include other languages like python or something else to ease the process, then by all means! As I assume you will know more than me in these regards. We will guide you with the ideas we have in mind so that you can bring it to life with your coding knowledge. Website Development - Conducting a needs analysis to determine which platform is most suitable for our website; creating a design proposal including mock-ups, and timeline; building a fully-functioning website for our organization. Application Development - Selecting the best technologies for creating the application or feature (i.e. a real-time chat function); creating a fully-functioning application for IOS & Android to correspond with the website while referencing a blueprint / guide on what we have in mind. Simplify the backend of the app for someone with minimal coding to be able to utilize and understand Real-Time Data Visualization - Creating a charting system with basic querying functionality; creating a dashboard to visualize key performance metrics of our organization or tool. Python may be useful here. Open Source Software Management - Researching potential open source tools for our organization’s use; contributing to open source projects through bug fixing or feature implementation. Our goal at the end of this experience is: to have full functioning IOS, Android, and web applications that correspond with each other. Website Development - For the student(s) to complete a fully functioning website. Application Development - For the student(s) to create a fully functioning IOS / Android application the corresponds with the website. Create the backend for easy management of the app. Real-Time Data Visualization - For the student(s) to help us devise and implement a data visualization system to help our organization derive insights to inform decision-making. Open Source Software Management - For the student(s) to help us develop a set of tools we can implement or utilize if necessary or possible. Other duties the student may complete could include : Software vendor research and evaluation Responding to IT/Service Desk requests We will plan to communicate with our virtual intern using these communication tools: Riipen / Discord / Telegram Student's primary contact : (Brendon, employer)

Hardware and Software Development

Step into the forefront of music technology innovation with our ground-breaking project: designing and building a cutting-edge physical MIDI device, complete with accompanying software. This project presents a remarkable opportunity for students and professionals alike to merge hardware engineering, software development, and music production into a cohesive and innovative product. This MIDI device is intended not just to interface with digital audio workstations but also to stand out as a versatile instrument in its own right.   Project Overview: Hardware Design and Development : You will be tasked with creating a physical MIDI controller that is both robust and user-friendly. This involves engineering a device that can send MIDI signals effectively to other music hardware and software, facilitating a wide range of musical expressions. Software Development : Accompanying the hardware, you will develop software that extends the functionality of the MIDI device. This software will provide additional features such as custom mapping tools, digital sound manipulation, and perhaps even a basic digital audio workstation interface.
