Portfolio
DI: CentroXS.com
Made a cool promotional site for Centro, the Experience Management System we've created for DI. With a fun approach to hosting a static site and custom CRM integration it was a nice little break from the world of web and desktop apps to do something that's just informative and pleasent to look at again.
DI: Woodside Health Club
In addition to my normal work making the dashboards and API's that run the content of the many amazing experiences that DI creates, I had the opportunity in my own neighborhood to make some really stunning electron apps running on huge screens around the facility to promote classes and events, as well as dust off my react native chops to create custom classroom schedules built into the wall next to each class room. This project was the fun blend of digital and real world work that I love.
Insysiv: Android Scanner
Starting off as a prototype project to upgrading a long used workhorse built on windows mobile technology to android, I ended up rebuilding the entire suite of features over several years. Rebuilding scanning libraries with no React Native equivalents, managing secure storage and data transportation for a half dozen hospital specific configurations, and doing UX re-discovery and redesigning the interface to address user pain points from a decade of use. The new Insysiv Track mobile application is masterpiece of elegance. Wrapping layer upon layer of business logic, compliance, and health care standards complexity into a clean and intuiative to use package.
Generative Art: Wave Mandala
Built for the DI-Inspire internal art gallery, this piece was an attempt to make something that seemed like an ever painting picture. I enjoy how the chaos of the lines will merge together into a brush stroke like path intermittently and eventually reach a state where it almost seems finished and like a painting someone would actually make, before then crashing back into work in progress yet again. It's really medatative to look at as a creative person. Check it out here.
Parley Vox Survey Platform
Starting with a realization that municiple governments are actively looking for innovative solutions to citizen engagement and analysis we created Parley AI to help target desired audiences quickly and cost effectively. Then pairing it with cutting edge analysis and natural language processing to give cities deeper insights in the the abundant data they collect.
Redivus Health
For two full years my entire focus was on creating a stunning visual identity, user experience flows for complex medical algorithms, and user interface components in React-Native and React.js for a truely cutting edge Medical Diagnostic Aid.
On the back of award winning design and user experience we were able to create significant improvements to medical outcomes for patients.
Level One Game Shop
Starting as a 'what if' moment with a good friend in a coffee shop, we quickly realized there was a dire need for a dedicated Tabletop Board Game Retailer in the Urban Core of Kansas City. So we built one! Starting from humble beginnings in a 500 square foot stall in the city market, we've quickly grown to take up 3000 square feet with every kind of game imaginable, have begun to publish our own games and apparel, and begin the process of selling certain items online. Merging tech with mortar while introducing KC to the games we love! See more about Level One Game Shop.
GHG: Social Media Analysis
As part of GHG's partnership with IBM Watson, we had the opportunity to use any of their AI, NLP, and Computer Vision API's to build prototype apps to sell the services to clients. While the service itself ended up being a bit of a bust, we did accidentally invent the best way of viewing Twitter that I've ever found. The Social Media Analysis Tool was intended to help drug companies quickly figure out how badly their drugs were getting trashed on twitter and respond to growing negative sentiment. Unfortunately all tweets about drugs and drug companies are incredibly negative, as we probably should have expected. But the dashboard in addition to being really something to look at thanks to my efforts provides all kinds of useful data about topics and participants that makes one wonder what the hell twitter is doing where it can't use this data better. Sadly this project is no longer hosted, but as my favorite bit of code I've ever written I'm going to keep the screen shot here.
Generative Art: Hibernal Fallout
Built for the DI-Inspire winter art gallery, this generative art piece was a weird idea I had to make some fun stylized snow with canvas. The color and motion were where most of the tweaking to get the right look and feel was done. But in the end I like how I was able to get a nice seasonal feel without being cliche or cold. For something pretty simple it happily hits that quality I always look for in art, where I know it's done because I can't stop looking at it. Check it out here.
1 Billion Bits
Part of my work of being an advocate and organizer of Kansas City's startup community is making sure those organizations look as good as they deserve. 1 Billion Bits as a grass roots organization to find creative ways to use gigabit fiber connectivity brought a lot of industry icons and luminaries to KC around the excitment of our fastest in the nation internet. The branding I did here was all about how 1 billion bits were still all about connecting two people within a community.
This project was a custom .Net application that also served as a video management application for the archived talks.
OffKey KC: Karaoke Suites
This project started as an informational website for their unique Karaoke experience. And grew to include custom integrations to a backend reservation dashboard and song look up library. I love how this look has managed to stay timeless and match their personality. See Offkey KC.
