I engineered a local, privacy-focused audio recognition system (Shazam clone) from scratch.
Solution:
DSP Engine: Built a custom Node.js pipeline using FFT & spectrograms for noise-resilient fingerprinting.
Backend: Developed a high-performance Express.js API with optimized SQLite indexing.
Frontend: Created a real-time browser recorder for microphone and system audio.
Impact:
Achieved accurate song matching in <3 seconds.
Resolved critical recursion issues for 100% stability.
Delivered a fully portable, serverless database architecture.
