Welcome.
I'm a design technologist in New York. I make websites and interactives using my skills in HTML5, CSS, and JavaScript. I currently work at the Council on Foreign Relations. I have a background in journalism, political science, and web development. Check out a selection of my projects below, or my CV and GitHub page above.
The world is in the midst of a transformation in the nature of work, as smart machines, artificial intelligence, new technologies, and global competition remake how people do their jobs and pursue their careers. The Work Ahead: Machines, Skills, and U.S. Leadership in the Twenty-First Century focuses on how to rebuild the links among work, opportunity, and economic security for all Americans in the face of accelerating change.
Using Leaflet.js and hooking in Google Forms, I created a series of maps for Via in order to crowdsource the next neighborhoods they will expand to in New York, Washington D.C., and Chicago.
When a Tunisian fruit vendor who had been harassed by police set himself on fire in December 2010, he could scarcely have imagined that he would spark protest movements across the Arab world. Calls for reform cam eup against resistance, though, and five years on, most countries that had been in revolt have so far seen tumult or entrenched authoritarianism rather than democratic transitions.
A research project called RIS4E is helping NASA prepare to send humans back to the moon or on to Mars or nearby asteroids. The team's latest research expedition took them to the volcanic fields of New Mexico, where a veteran astronaut joined their mission and students in the Stony Brook University School of Journalism chronicled their quest.
Queens Tribune: Fusion Tables Route Map
The Queens Tribune needed a way to visually display information about each of their high-volume paper routes. For this project, I created a Python script to process and clean up large Excel and CSV data files containing proprietary route information. Then, I used JavaScript, Google Fusion Tables, and Google Street View Image API to place all information processed by the script into a shareable custom Google Maps page.
