Projects ?
Obama For America: In the winter and spring of 2008, I volunteered for the Obama
campaign. I developed a robust interactive data analysis and visualization tool to
evaluate canvassing efforts in the California, Texas and Pennsylvania primaries. I
utilized Google's visualization API and PHP/CSS/JS/XHTML for this effort. I also donated
computer resources and helped to develop tools to support canvassing efforts.
Orpheus: A music exploration tool. Orpheus started as the thesis project in pursuit of
the Master of Information Management & Systems degree at University of California,
Berkeley. In a nutshell, Orpheus is an interactive exploration tool and MP3 player
designed to facilitate the discovery of new music and the exploration of the music
universe. The application is built as on a client/server architecture utilizing Java,
Postgres, and several open source tools. We collect community metadata from various web
sources, employ data-mining and natural language processing to organize this data, and
utilize it to power the client's information panes and network visualizations. Orpheus was
awarded the James R. Chen award for best final project in the Social Media Track.
Verified Voting: In the summer of 2004, I volunteered for Verified Voting, to help them
collect and organize data on polling places. Verified Voting was created to establish a
nationwide network of attorneys and technical specialists to ensure that all votes were
accurately recorded and counted. I was responsible for building the backend database
architecture in collaboration with John McCarthy, collecting polling place and address
data from the web, parsing this data and loading it into mySQL databases.
section: An interactive web-based art installation. The concept behind section was to
allow users to select multiple film clips representing modes of transportation, times of
day, and variations in movement in cities around the world. Users could then view portions
of these film clips simultaneously. I was responsible for designing and developing the
backend data architecture and developing the front-end user interface.
RecentListening Plug-in: I wrote this tool to post my listening behaviour from iTunes to
my blog side bar. It is written in Object-Oriented PHP and utilizes 3 web services to find
album art and other associated metadata such as links to the last.FM profile for the song
and the URL to purchase the music on Amazon.com.
