Projects

Why 82?

A web project highlighting which games in the NBA’s busy 1,230-game schedule (30 teams, 82 games each) are worth actually watching. The idea is to find games that should be entertaining while ignoring games that are more likely to be one-sided blowouts involving lackluster teams.

aws-cf-monitor

Harris County Bookings Data Gathering

An Open Austin serverless project that accumulates the booking information published in Harris County’s daily JIMS 1058 reports into a search-friendly format. The intent is to aide non-profit organizations looking to do data research across time spans greater than a day.

chef_utensils
