PORTFOLIO

Technologies Used:

jQuery  HTML5  CSS  BootStrap  Javascript 

PAC Tracker

Pac Tracker monitors live data through API's from nytimes, opensecrets, sunlight foundation in order to track who are the top receivers of campaign donation. It breaks the doations out by PACs, Super PACs and individual donors. It also lists each new PAC and SuperPAC as they are formed with the FEC. I also use D3.js and chart.js to run the data through graphs to help visualize the data for the user.

Technologies Used:

Ruby on Rails  HTML5  CSS  Postgresql  Javascript 

Show Me Music

Show Me Music helps bridge the gap between local bands and band venues and show casing their music. We geo target a users location and then bring up a list of upcomming live shows using an API from songkick. We then build a playlist using Rdio which includes songs from these artist so the user can listen to the songs before they purchase a ticket. There is also a log in and authentication for venue owners who would like to manually add upcoming show dates. This allows venue owners a chance to change the performace schedule on the fly.

Technologies Used:
