About Me

I'm a software developer living in Madison, Wisconsin. My history includes a lot of product work related to TV broadcast. These included graphic arts and video editing applications that ran on specialized hardware. These days I'm interested in 'modern' javascript coding and exploring fun things that can be done in a browser. I'm also a hobbyist musician and arranger.

Projects

Coding

• MediaWiki - a content management alternative to WordPress. It supports custom tags with extensions, and use of skins to control the look.
• bl?endR - an image manipulator for bending and blending images. The techniques for image keying (masking) and distortion were developed as part of video production system. It's written in javascript and built with ReactJS and Webpack. I wanted to explore the potential of integrating an application into a CMS without framing, and this demonstrates the power of bundling with webpack. A single script tag is all that's needed, and since the application is loaded into the DOM the styling matches the container page.
