IEEE @ SXSW 2015

This is a single page, mobile-first, responsive-design website build for IEEE's 2015 presence at SXSW Interactive. Over 90% of traffic comes from mobile during the event so the page was optimized for fast loading and easy sharing in that scenario. #bootstrap #RWD #mobile

Custom Google Map

This is a prototype I built for IEEE to highlight how they can use Google Maps API v3 to make their text content more dynamic and visually appealing. All IEEE office locations have been plotted on a cleaned up map. Clicking the pins zooms to location and brings up the details for that location. Mobile Friendly. #mapping #dataViz #javascript

MA Thesis

My MA Thesis from NYU (2009) hypothesizes that general interest Newspaper Websites, no matter their pagecount, are unable to generate sustainable revenue from only online advertising. To my knowledge, it is still true in 2015. #paradigmShift #newspaper #publishing #unbundling #digitalAdvertising

NJ Patch Sites - Mapped

I created this custom google map showing the geolocation of NJ Patch.com sites because I found their existing state page lacking in that it requires users to know WHERE the patch site they are looking for is geographically located. My map lets you click a pin on a map to get to the site. #datavisualization #mapping

Sometimes after my kids go to sleep I put together silly scenarios for them to wake up to. What can I say, I love Lego! This scene has Patrick Star emerging from water...as well as sleeping in a bed. I made some custom bees and a beehive for mister bear to get into as well. #Lego #fun #play

I made this Lego Zip Line project using kite string, and a bunch of Lego wheels and block pieces. Click through to photos and videos for details on the project. #Lego #DIY
