Creator of The Pulse of Peace

Who I am

I'm a 16-year-old high school student from California. I love art, dance, music, and building things that bring people together.

I believe the world has more kind people than loud ones — they just don't have a place to show it. That's why I built this.

Why I built this

I was scrolling through the news and every headline was about war, hate, and division. I thought: where do the peaceful people go? Where's the page for us?

So I built one. A single page where anyone on Earth can tap a button and say: I choose peace. I choose kindness. I choose live and let live. No sign-up, no ads, no agenda.

The part I'm most proud of is the music. Every vote plays a chime, and the sound grows from a single lonely note into a full, rich chord as more people join. The harmony is built by the community — one voice at a time. It's not pre-recorded. It's the sound of collective hope, generated live.

How it was built

I built The Pulse of Peace in a single day, pair-programming with my dad. The entire app is a single HTML file — no frameworks, no build tools, no complexity. Just a page that does one thing well.

The tech: D3.js for the world map, Supabase for real-time global sync, Cloudflare Turnstile for security, Web Audio API for the generative music, and Netlify for hosting. Everything is free and open.

What I love

Art Dance Music Building for good Creative coding Making the world quieter

The goal

Light up every country on the map. Prove that kindness is louder than hate — one dot at a time.
