Carbon

Desktop App

Carbon (from Carbon Paper) is a desktop app to share files. What makes Carbon different is that it watches files for changes and updates all connected clients in real time. It was originally designed to use when teaching programming, showing code or when you need to share files with a live audience.

Sequential Stories

Machine Learning Experiments

The Show and Tell model is a image-to-text model for Tensorflow, developed by Google DeepMind, that takes an input and learns how to describe the content of images. This experimental iOS app uses this feature to generate a series of captions and create a story.

Mappa

Javascript Library

Mappa is a javascript library to facilitate work between p5 and existing map libraries and APIs. It provides a set of tools for working with static maps, interactive tile maps and geo-data among other tools useful when building geolocation-based visual representations. Although Mappa was originally designed for p5.js, it can also be used with other libraries that use the canvas element as the render object. Made for Google Summer of Code 2017

Missed Oportunity

Data Storytelling

The U.S. federal government is the largest single purchaser in the global economy, with annual procurement spending that totals between US $450 and $500 billion. Many of the products it procures are produced using global supply chains, by laborers in foreign countries. This is a data driven storytelling about the U.S. Government Purchases and Forced Labor Abroad. Built for the Stern Center for Business and Human Rights

Degrees of Separation

Maps

Why do people flee from a city? How does a city look when people need to leave to survive? This map shows a satellite map of Manhattan and overlays it with satellite images from different cities in Syria destroyed by war. This project aims to explore how we perceive spatial information and maps based on our previous knowledge of a place. Trying to better understand what does it mean to leave your home and seek refugee in another place.
