Elevator Pitch
Whether I’m helping to organize a client project or build tools for the public, my gravitational pull is to build tools.
My Public Apps
I’ve built four apps that are freely available.
Three of them assist AI practitioners do their jobs better:
- AI Timeline: This is an interactive timeline of AI announcements and innovations.
- AI Strategy: This is an interactive app that walks app developers through the harrowing process of picking the best AI model for a task.
- Machine Learning Model Picker: This is an interactive app that walks data scientists through the process of picking the best machine learning model for a task.
And the fourth serves as a prototype for how AI can be leveraged to make tasks with a lot of text data more accessible:
- Daybell Case Search App: This is an interactive app that I built for those investigating, litigating, researching, and reporting on my family’s high-profile criminal case.
404 No More
I built an interactive app that uses AI to suggest redirects for a site’s broken pages from crawl data. It includes a client-facing dashboard that provides a visual overview of the problem directories on the site.
The service also offers a consulting tier with an additional dashboard that incorporates any other page-specific data the client provides.
Client Apps
Below are a couple examples I built solo for client projects:
Interactive Project Tracker
I was working with a team on an AI app project for a large university, and there were many moving parts to this app. Important details were getting lost in analog project updates using Airtables and PowerPoint decks, so I built an interactive chart that provided both a high-level overview of the project for senior management and the. ability to drill into the minutia for practitioners.
Image Uploader for a Math App
I was working on a math app for a client, and the engineering team said six weeks wouldn’t be enough time to build an image uploader into the app for the most viable product (MVP) stage. This was a concern because the app was for middle and high school, and the competitor apps offered image upload as either the primary or only way to enter math problems.
So that weekend, on my own time, I pulled together an image uploader, using the MathPix API for OCR.
Dollar Parser
Another challenge we faced with the math app is dollar signs in word problems were causing odd formatting because they are also recognized as LaTeX characters (basically markup for math and science). So, although I was the AI strategist on the project, I created code that would address the issue because we were up against a deadline and the frontend and backend developers were on task with other more pressing issues.
