Projects and Experiments
A variety of projects and experiments that I've done ranging from nature research and publishing to sports, tech, and business tools.
Watch or Skip
Watch or Skip is an app to let you know if you should watch an NBA game or not without telling you who won the game. It also recommends the best games of the day to watch regardless of teams.
I built this as I'm a fan of the San Antonio Spurs and the past few years they haven't been very good. If I didn't catch the game live on TV I'd often watch it later or the next day, but if the Spurs got blown out it wasn't an enoyable way to spend my time. If I looked at the scores to see if it was a close game then you lose all of the suspense and drama about who is going to win, so I built this tool. Watch or Skip looks not only at the final score, but also at how close the game was throughout, clutch baskets, overtimes, etc. to recommend if a game is worth watching without revealing who won.

Learning to Identify Birds
Using Anki Flashcards Customized for Birds Near You
One of the challenges in learning to identify birds is focusing on the species currently in your local area, or where you’ll be traveling to. I built a tool that customizes an Anki flashcard deck based on recent sightings in eBird, allowing you to focus just on the birds you are most likely to see.
