Projects

A geospatial intelligence dashboard mapping pollinator habitat across the Green Bay area. Fuses field observations, conservation boundaries, land cover data, and hazard records into a unified situational map with automated intelligence alerts. Aggregates fifteen public datasets — iNaturalist, GBIF, eBird, Monarch Watch waystations, FWS bee distribution records, NE WI Pollinator Corridor, USGS protected areas, WI DNR tree canopy data, NLCD land cover, USDA crop data, and more.

One-man DAWless electronic music project. Electronic music that lingers in the space between threat and calm.

Building a local LoRa mesh network using Meshtastic — solar-powered repeater nodes and handheld devices for off-grid, encrypted, peer-to-peer communication that doesn't depend on the internet or cell towers.

A Raspberry Pi 5 laptop built into a cigar box. Dual 7-inch screens, salvaged laptop hinges mounted to pine two-by-four, Kano keyboard, junkyard energy. Actually runs Linux.

Repurposed 1970s slide viewer, Raspberry Pi Zero, NASA API. A retrofuturistic passive info display.

A Python script running on a Raspberry Pi scrapes Shepard Fairey's print archive, converts each image to 7 colors, and displays it on a color e-paper screen. Built fast, with parts already on hand.

A hand-built e-ink ereader. Waveshare 7.5" e-paper display, Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W, rotary encoder, UPS battery hat. Reads epub and CBZ. Built from parts already on hand.

Notes on the mechanics of viral content from inside Know Your Meme and BuzzFeed, and why the lessons matter more now than they did then.

Added MIDI input to a 1982 Yamaha CS01-II analog synthesizer using a Highly Liquid UMR2 universal retrofit board. Involves soldering, the service manual, and a transposition quirk baked into the keyboard layout.

Replaced Google Home with a self-hosted Home Assistant instance on a salvaged Raspberry Pi 3B. Local control, no cloud, no data leaving the house.

Migrated personal files, photos, and media off Google Drive, iCloud, Facebook, and OneDrive onto a self-hosted Nextcloud server running on a Raspberry Pi 5.

Converted 288 square feet of front lawn into a native wildflower pollinator habitat — navigating city ordinance compliance, a failed seed broadcast, and the obsessive joy of cataloging 39 native plant species.

A custom VRChat world built for Northeast Wisconsin Technical College in UdonSharp and Unity. A lobby space with three interactive educational classrooms.

Website for Northeast Wisconsin Technical College, built on Kentico with custom PageBuilder and FormBuilder web parts and integrations into the college's LMS and ERP.

Arduino-based add-on that reads CV/Gate output from the TB-303 or TD-3 and generates a PWM square wave oscillator — fed back into the synth's filter input for phasing and wobble effects.

The sequel to Polarity Ball. Court-based magnetic physics with 3DOF controller support, toggleable gravity, and expanded level design — Gear VR and Oculus Go.

A VR physics game for Gear VR and Oculus Go. Court-based competitive play with simulated magnetism — built in Unity and C#.
