Projects

Building

• Texas Defense Data — a long-running project to collect and analyze publicly available court records, building an accessible data portal to power research and analysis. Already surfacing noteworthy trends in Texas' court systems. Currently in alpha.
• synth.cool — a side project for learning sound synthesis. I keep buying synthesizers and pedals and still feel like I hold only a nascent understanding of how they work — it's so fundamental, yet almost esoteric.
• ThisTownSucks — [Dan describes]
• This site — built in the open; the repo's docs folder doubles as its own case study

Civic & community

• Indigent defense stats — court-records scraping with Open Austin; feeds the Texas Defense Data work above
• TechMill Denton — board member, treasurer
• Open Denton — civic data ETL
