01 · Flagship platform

EcoPlot Mobile

Offline ecological collection → cloud sync → office review → reporting.

I architect and build this progressive web app for Desert Data Labs. It runs standardized and custom protocols, stores photos, GPS, and maps on the device, and detects concurrent edits when the crew syncs into an Azure-backed office workflow.

02 · Sports data product

Power-4 Girth Index

Every roster, by size, by position, and by where the talent came from.

A transparent dashboard shows data freshness and coverage before body maps, position profiles, Program Reach, and Talent Origins explain how rosters are built across all 67 ACC, Big Ten, Big 12, and SEC programs. Direct Matchups can pair any two schools; for football, Talent vs Results and Wins Above Talent show whether recruiting turns into wins.

03 · Ecological analytics

NEON Small Mammal Tracker

Pick one of 46 NEON field sites and meet everything trapped there.

Site maps, individual capture histories, home-range heatmaps, diversity profiles, detection-corrected abundance, and transparent method notes turn a large public dataset into a useful field guide.

04 · ETL + QA/QC

VGS Batch Importer

Historical Excel datasheets in, and the corrupt rows stay out.

An R pipeline parses multiple vegetation protocols, resolves metadata, flags data-quality problems, and loads clean records into a local SQLite field database.

Plants in Movies

Movie worlds, explored through real plant records.

An illustrated botanical atlas for Arrakis, Middle-earth and Isla Nublar. Compare states, see which families contribute to each match, explore the artwork with a specimen lens, and download saved comparisons from your field notebook.

Interactive web

Explore the records. Compare the model.

Field records and a paired storm model, alongside experiments in film, elevation, and procedural worlds.

Living X-Ray separates a Santa Rita plot into modeled plants, canopy, aerial imagery, and measured terrain

Living X-Ray · NEON field records

How do the plant records fit the ground?

I brought native Santa Rita terrain, aerial imagery, a canopy layer, and 179 tagged records into one scene. Peel the layers and select a specimen; its receipt shows source measurements, date limits, and model defaults.

Two Futures compares actual Storm Table model states under shared forcing, with a dug basin only in B

Two Futures · Storm Table model

Hold the storm fixed. Change one basin.

I paired two independent Storm Table simulations under the same storm, camera, and replay clock. Add one basin in B, inspect the first sustained depth change beyond the cut, and save the model ledgers and recipe.
