Apps, computer vision, automation, data, hardware, fabrication, and other experiments. Some are finished products. Some are things I wanted to try.
36 PROJECTS / COMPLETE INDEX
Products, commissioned work, experiments, and older projects, together in one index.
SELECT A RECORD TO VIEW THE WORK ↘I started building CryptoGain in 2021 because I wanted better charting and market-analysis tools on my phone without paying for a pile of separate subscriptions. It's now an iOS and Android app with indicators, alerts, watchlists, portfolios, news, and read-only wallet tracking. Personal data stays on the device, and there's no CryptoGain account to set up.
PowerUpPocket is where I restore and customize original Nintendo 3DS systems in small batches. I make the buttons and D-pads myself and, depending on the build, add custom thumbsticks, styluses, painted parts, replacement lenses, and glow-in-the-dark finishes.
Two ads I made for CryptoGain that don't look much like ads for a finance app: a Metal Gear Solid codec-call parody and a discount-furniture-commercial spoof called “Obo’s Discount Financial Emporium.”
A set of Python tools I made while trying to get CryptoGain in front of more people. The largest piece was a Bitcoin news workflow that gathered stories from 17 feeds, filtered duplicates, prepared images, and routed drafts through an AI-assisted editorial process into a Gatsby/Decap CMS.
Python, data-processing, and machine-learning support work I did for a research collaborator between 2021 and 2026. It ranged from collecting and cleaning datasets to getting research code and ML environments running when something broke.
Kennedy Fried Chords is a browser voice modulator I made around a very specific RFK Jr. impression. It processes microphone audio in real time with a fixed combination of pitch, distortion, and dropouts, dressed up like a fried-chicken chain's website.
Biden Unleashed was an automated Twitch stream featuring a synthetic Joe Biden avatar that responded to chat. I built it with local text-generation models, generated speech, 3D animation, and a two-computer system for getting everything on the air.
Scanaconda is a mobile computer-vision app that measures the ratio between your index and ring fingers and turns it into a completely unserious result. It works with a photo or a live camera feed, and the image processing stays on the device.
A browser piece where you catch a falling seed and drag its roots into the ground to grow a cherry-blossom tree. Each movement produces another blossom.
A 2018 experiment that uses facial-landmark detection to turn official photos of members of Congress into bad drawings with the hair left intact. The planned guessing game had a title and a tagline: “Ain't no pompadours in politics.”
A surveillance experiment that used wireless probe requests picked up by a Raspberry Pi to generate human figures in a game environment.
I trained a computer-vision model to look for skateable architecture in street-level images: ledges, rails, stairs, and similar features. I also experimented with feeding it Google Street View imagery to find spots that weren't already documented.
An experiment in collecting the positive messages and quotes that appear in Lil B's music videos, with the idea of making them searchable or available whenever someone wanted one.
Imminent Grey was my Parsons thesis: a human-versus-machine card game set in a future where technology has made its creators obsolete. I got the game to a playable prototype, but the parts I was happiest with were the laser-cut cards and acrylic packaging.
A concept for turning the rotating blades of a rooftop turbine vent into an animated zoetrope.
A searchable arts-education directory I built for New York City teachers as part of my frontend work at VGD. It combines text search, nine sets of filters, and detailed pages for 165 archived arts organizations.
Responsive website design and frontend prototyping for Grand Central Partnership, covering neighborhood discovery, events, organizational pages, and an interactive district map.
An interactive heart-age calculator prototype for the NYC Department of Health and Mental Hygiene. Users enter a few health-related values and see an estimated heart-age result.
Career-planning interface work I did at VGD for the North Carolina Chamber of Commerce. It includes a drag-and-drop work-values sorter, a lifestyle and budget calculator, mobile prototypes, wireframes, and personas.
Wireframes and working frontend prototypes for Delaware DNREC's online permitting system, covering registration, account management, permits, and a store-facing purchase flow.
An After Effects motion study for an educational application about U.S. westward expansion, developed with a team for NYC's Department of Education.
I built an automatic recording setup to capture heavy, unpredictable impacts coming from inside my apartment ceiling. It combined a piezo sensor, Arduino, Raspberry Pi, and a PlayStation USB camera.
A camera-controlled synthesizer made with Python, OpenCV, and Pure Data. Average brightness in the video feed determines which note plays.
A Python data-visualization experiment comparing film genres with U.S. presidential terms.
Stickers printed with the CSS declaration `{display:none;}` and placed over physical advertisements.
An Arduino proximity sensor and LED-matrix display I made to warn me when someone was walking up behind my desk.
A Python script I wrote to play a familiar call when my cat Navi started crying for attention at night.
A Python monitor for Treasury yield-curve inversions, built to track changes without checking charts by hand.
An early Python technical-analysis and trading experiment using market data and chart indicators.
A Python script for pulling useful traffic information out of server logs, including client addresses, requests, and geographic lookups.
A Pokémon-themed graphics hack of the original Super Mario Bros. for NES, made with Javier Casaverde and Hamadou Bocoum.
A Parsons class collaboration with GE exploring a cockpit built around shared displays, changing viewpoints, and contextual information instead of a wall of fixed instruments.
A collection of interface work from my early years at VGD: government forms, search tools, editorial layouts, wireframes, prototypes, and usability notes. Some projects were ordinary administrative systems, but the design problems were real.
A proposed mobile reporting app for Grand Central Partnership staff to record problems with street assets, attach photos, and track follow-up work.
An 18-page usability evaluation of 4chan's interface as it existed in 2011, made for a Parsons course.
A graphic identity I made for Alec's Critical Theory website, using silhouettes of Nietzsche, Žižek, and Marx. It also became a bookmark and a design for beer koozies.
