Projects
Orpheus: A music exploration tool. Orpheus started as the thesis project in
pursuit of the Master of Information Management & Systems degree at
University of California, Berkeley. In a nutshell, Orpheus is an interactive
exploration tool and MP3 player designed to facilitate the discovery of new music
and the exploration of the music universe. The application is built as on a
client/server architecture utilizing Java, Postgres, and several open source tools.
We collect community metadata from various web sources, employ data-mining and
natural language processing to organize this data, and utilize it to power the
client's information panes and network visualizations. For more
information, visit http://orpheus.notlong.com. Orpheus was awarded the James R. Chen
award for best final project in the Social Media Track. Project Url:

Verified Voting: In the summer of 2004, I volunteered for Verified Voting, to help
them collect and organize data on polling places. Verified Voting was created to
establish a nationwide network of attorneys and technical specialists to ensure that
all votes were accurately recorded and counted. I was responsible for building the
backend database architecture in collaboration with John McCarthy, collecting
polling place and address data from the web, parsing this data and loading it into
mySQL databases. Project Url:
http://www.verifiedvoting.org
section: An interactive web-based art installation. The concept behind
section was to allow users to select multiple film clips representing modes of
transportation, times of day, and variations in movement in cities around the world.
Users could then view portions of these film clips simultaneously. I was responsible
for designing and developing the backend data architecture and developing the
front-end user interface. Project Url:

RecentListening Plug-in: I wrote this tool to post my listening behaviour from iTunes to my
blog side bar. It is written in Object-Oriented PHP and utilizes 3 web services to
find album art and other associated metadata such as links to the last.FM profile
for the song and the URL to purchase the music on Amazon.com. Project Url:
