the turn— everything above was almost free

Not free to own.

AI made code, tests, policy and documentation almost free to produce. It has not made any of them free to own. This portfolio rebuilds itself every night — and this is the line it's willing to be judged against.

Independent design and engineering work doesn't always fit neatly inside a company. Some of the best work happens at the edges — between studios, between disciplines, between what a client thinks they need and what they actually need.

TeeTurnExperiment · 2020A mobile-first cross-platform golf app that lets players track the progress of a round in real-time. Responsible for product direction and strategy.PolitweetsExperiment · 2008Built over a weekend with the Character140 collective — a group of DC-area developers and designers. Politweets scraped Twitter's public timeline for presidential candidate mentions and displayed them in real time, homepage styled like a digital newspaper. Went live just before the New Hampshire primaries. Covered by HuffPost, Mashable, ZDNet, and ReadWriteWeb. Six to nine months later, Twitter shipped their own version at election.twitter.com.TwittertaleExperiment · 2008One of the earliest experiments using the Twitter API to track keywords across the public timeline — built with Jason Garber and the Character140 crew initially just to entertain friends. Twittertale scanned every public tweet for swear words and ranked which users had the biggest potty mouth. Covered by Mashable. The same keyword-tracking mechanic became the foundation for Politweets a few weeks later.
