Applications

Applications built to put an idea in front of something real — a dataset, a piece of hardware, or the people using it.

Current

  • Criticality Index — applies Self-Organized Criticality theory to Quality of Government data, looking for empirical signatures of criticality in governance systems. Julia, run in JupyterLab under Docker. The thinking behind it is in The Confluence.

  • Milwaukee Lawn Bowls — the membership and league application for the Milwaukee Lake Park Lawn Bowling Club. Greens schedule, membership renewal, group event booking, and league and tournament administration, with role-based access separating treasurer, membership, games, and league duties. The club’s public site is mine too — WordPress on a custom child theme.

  • Chalkboard Fitness — workout planning and logging, with recommendations drawn from history, schedule, and weather. Imports GPX and JSON from watch data, syncs across devices by pairing code, and flags high-impact movements with joint-safe substitutions.

Practice

Notes and patterns from the building, kept at Werk Space.

  • Laravel, Livewire, etc. — code snippets and guidance for Laravel web applications, including the Livewire Orchestration Pattern.
  • Development environment — Julia, Python under WSL2, headless Linux, and data science platform setup.
  • AI education — a series of educational modules for the general public on basic digital literacy.

Earlier

  • Twenty47 — dispatch notification for Red Cross volunteers over AWS SNS. Archived and deprecated, kept for reference.

Hardware, devices, and microcontrollers are on the Maker page.
