An online game and outerspace interface of musical creation and recreation.

First, an artist uploads a piece of music and places it in a scrolling galaxy as a star that others can click on and listen to.

Then, another artist listens to it, recreates or reinterprets it, and uploads their take as another star. A line is drawn back to the original, creating branching constellations of musical interpretations.

A highly-regarded musical non-profit and collective of musicians. They develop music production classes for underprivileged youth, create art installations, and host international arts exchange programs; often in conjunction with the U.S. Dept. of State.

Over the years I've been contracted to build numerous websites to showcase their organization and many projects, festivals, and residencies. For their primary website, we tried to design something that feels large and alive.

Found Sound Nation was tasked by the U.S. Dept. of State to design an art residency and performance festival for musicians from around the world called OneBeat. I built both the public-facing website that showcased the artists and an internal application system that allowed them to browse through the thousands of applicants.

The review system is still in use by Found Sound Nation / U.S. Dept. of State, and I'm told a number of other government programs have adopted it.

CloudCred, by VMWare, is an online professional network and a learning game. Players form into teams and contribute to their team's collective score by completing learning challenges in order to earn prizes.

I worked in a team of 5 as a front-end engineer to build the homepage and a number of live modules within the application like user profiles, search, and high-score listings. We used HTML5 and Javascript/AJAX.

ApplyGem is an organization and a business tool for creating application forms and reviewing applicants that I designed, built, and own independently.

My intent was to build something elegant, unpretentious, and highly-functional. I tried to design an interface that felt simple but somehow overtly pleasant.

Adobe hired a team of engineers that included myself in order to build out a consumer-facing page on their central website.

I worked as a front-end developer, programming designs according both to visual and code specifications. As part of the project, I also helped convert their existing content into a content-management system that Adobe had built internally.

Colonie NYC is a popular fine-dining restaurant in New York City. They were looking for a unique online identity and menu.

I programmed the website, including a miniature custom content-management system built for menu items and other content, using HTML, Javascript, and PHP.
