Selected Work

Designed to be a healthy "first screen" in the morning. News summaries, updates, and enough information about the latest events that you don't feel the need to endlessly doomscroll.

Smallweb is a really unique tool to create a filesystem based system for rapidly-deployed deno apps, and it pairs really well with a robot companion.

Cloudinary Backup Tool

tauri · rust · typescript · vite

I needed to backup thousands of photos from Cloudinary, and couldn't find an easy standalone tool to do so. So I built a little desktop app with Tauri. It handles batch downloads without eating all your RAM (vs an Electron app) and lets you resume if something goes wrong.

Hand-Tracking & Generative Art

personal2024

computer vision · midi · webgl · hand tracking · generative art · interactive media

These are my attempts to make computers that respond to the way humans actually move and gesture—exploring the design space between human intuition and machine capability. Each project pushes beyond traditional HCI constraints to find new interaction models. Some of these work better than others, but they all represent steps toward interfaces that feel more like extensions of thought than barriers to it.

EXIF Printer

photography · exif · print design · web design · camera metadata

I love being able to reference the technical details when editing photography—aperture, shutter speed, ISO, all the little choices that go into making a photograph. But most photo prints completely ignore this data, treating it like metadata to be hidden away in EXIF tags that nobody ever sees. So I made a little app to add the EXIF data to the margins of prints you might get from CVS, Walgreens, or Wal-Mart (don't use them for photo prints, I learned the hard way.)

I created Coach Artie to serve as our Discord studio assistant. He's evolved into a powerful AI tool with persistent memory and tool usage - helping our team coordinate and manage creative workflows.

During the early COVID-19 pandemic, I worked with Carnegie Mellon University's COVIDcast project, prototyping data visualizations and user interactions to help the public understand hospitalization, transmission, and movement trends across the country.

During my time at NBC News, I worked on the Foundry team, creating bespoke longform articles in collaboration with journalists across the organization. These specials focused on unique approaches to video, data visualiation, and storytelling on the web.

Along with Gerald Rich and the Vocativ data team, I received a Knight Prototype Fund grant to create Dataproofer - an open source tool to check data for reliability, missing data, and outliers. Built as an Electron desktop app for journalists.
