About Me
I like creating websites. This page was designed to showcase some of the projects I've worked on. If you like what you see, I'm available for contract work.
My interests include entrepreneurship, programming, and science. I'm particularly interested in complex systems, such as online communities, large-scale web apps, and biological systems, and understanding the rules and dynamics that cause favorable collective behavior to emerge. I have a degree in Computational Biology.

Follow Mojo
Follow Mojo is an app that gives you insight into your relationships on Twitter. Who's not following you back on Twitter? How has your number of followers increased over time? It gives you actionable analytics, so you can prune who you follow, choose people to follow, and set goals. It also sends push notifications to your mobile when someone unfollows you. Coming soon to Android and iOS.
This Android app was conceived and written by me using Java, Objective-C, Python, Flask, MySQL and Amazon EC2.
Celebnoise
Celebrity news on your mobile. Celebnoise is a mobile app for Android that I created using HTML5 and bundled using PhoneGap. It's a celebrity news aggregator with over a thousand celebs in its database, which is constantly updated thanks to integration with Freebase. The backend server fetches from 7 different APIs and integrates all the data to provide near real-time updates about each celeb from news sites and social media sites.
This Android app was conceived and written by me using jQuery, Backbone.js, PhoneGap, Python, Gevent, Flask, and Amazon EC2.
Twtspire
Crowdsource app and website ideas using twitter. This site uses the twitter search API to find tweets containing potentially great ideas for new websites and apps, so that you can be inspired to build something people want. Sometimes the ideas are amusing or ridiculous, but occasionally something brilliant emerges from the tweetsphere. Users can vote up or down a tweet to filter out the better ideas.
This site was conceived and written by me using Python, Flask, and the Google App Engine.
FaceItShirt
Design and buy a t-shirt using photos from your facebook albums. Users can put one of their favorite facebook photos on to a t-shirt. The color, size, and fit of the t-shirt can all be customized. If you want to add a caption to the t-shirt, you can do that too. When the user is happy with the design, it is automatically uploaded to Spreadshirt.com and they are redirected to the checkout page.
This site was conceived and written by me using jQuery, Python, and the Google App Engine. It won first place in an API competition.
DragToShirt
DragToShirt is a jQuery plugin that allows you to easily turn a web page into a t-shirt shop. It uses the Spreadshirt api, and allows your visitors to drag images from your site onto t-shirts to generate a product that they can then buy. This is very convenient if you have, for example, an online gallery and you want to make money by making commissions from t-shirt sales. It's designed to be easy to use, customizable, and not require any changes to your current web page design. Try out the demonstration on the homepage to see it in action!
