illinois-bridge-ratings

A series of visualizations depicting the structural state of bridges in Illinois.

lake-michigan-water-stories

I was tasked with designing and building the presentation for one of this year's showpiece offerings: an investigation on the way water and water rates are used to subjugate poor communities and communities of color in the Chicago region. Colleagues created the visual assets and I collected them into a content flow using [ArchieML](http://archieml.org/). A previous version of this rig was used in the [Tribune's property-tax investigation](http://apps.chicagotribune.com/news/watchdog/cook-county-property-tax-divide/assessments.html).

layer-cake-ssr

This is a demo/test repo to debug SSRing with LayerCake

local-funding-schools-2016

An analysis of school funding data showing that school districts in richer counties shoulder a larger share of public school costs than do districts in poorer counties.

lollapalooza-genres

lucida-charts

midwest-voting-demographics-trump

The "blue island" in a red midwest was a theme we tackled in several ways following Donald Trump's presidential election. These charts try to shed light on what happened by exploring the red/blue midwestern divide via several demographics.

national-league-central-tracker-2017

This dashboard/tracker let sports fans watch as the Cubs fought to defend their historic world championship. Data was collected and updated nightly in collaboration with the sports staff.

new-way-to-clean

A Wordpress child theme, built to run with Divi.

obama-speech-scraper

An early experiment (for me) in scraping. I was interested in collecting a list of all official remarks by POTUS, VPOTUS, Michelle Obama and Jill Biden by scraping the media room on wh.gov.

orbitas-indonesia-projection

quiz-card-animation

refugees-in-illinois

residential-treatment-centers

For a Chicago Tribune investigative project on wards of the state, illustrator Rick Tuma and I worked with the Watchdog team to produce several youth-oriented stories in graphic novel format. The main investigative pieces were critical, but a bit dry. Much of the human elements were lost in the editing process, so we collected them in these graphic essays.

rio-olympian-value

Using a d3- and Jinja-based scatterplot tool I built, this visualization charts the qualitative olympic success of an athlete against his or her future earnings potential (as an Olympian).

school-report-card-lookup-2017

It's important for our readers to be able to find themselves in our journalism, and one's own school/district is at the top of that list. Much of this app relies on a delicate interplay between sass styling and javascript to offer a quick and accessible look at each district. I built this app in collaboration with our top data reporter and another engineer, who helped with back-end data stuff.

shooting-homicide-victims

This dashboard consumes data collected by the Chicago Tribune breaking news desk and presents it in a variety of ways using some pre-baked elements (NodeJS) and some client-side charting. The goal is to add context and understanding to the victims of Chicago's violence. A companion app (http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/data/ct-shooting-victims-map-charts-htmlstory.html) uses identical templates but different data to look at victims of shootings (all shootings, not just fatal).

superweeds

For an investigative story on the rise of weedkiller-resistant weeds, I made code-based animations (with illustrator Rick Tuma) and graphics showing how weeds learn to resist.

text-messages-embed-master

toolbox

A collection of (mostly javascript) snippets and d3 forms that I often use. It is helpful to have them in one place.
