Projects

Here are any blog posts about software projects I've worked on outside of "work".

Things I've made outside of "work" (and are on the backburner or spun down):

• DbDeclare (opens in a new tab): A Python library to easily define your Postgres cluster (dbs, roles, privileges, etc.). I find there is a gap between tools like SQLAlchemy (which does a stellar job of defining tables) and infrastructure as code (which define the database cluster, version, instance size, etc.). So hopefully this is useful to fill in that gap, at least for Python and Postgres users!

• Reusable Logistics: A service to facilitate the use of reusable containers at food events, with ambitions to be the software backbone of all reusable material goods. Piloted successfully at Smorgasburg in NYC, didn't get further than that. Great learning experience.

• Nabu: A landing page for tools/services to identify and understand bias. The first tool is a news feed that shows articles from across newsrooms grouped by topic. The second tool is a browser extension that shows similar articles to the one you are currently viewing. This has been turned off (for now) due to monthly costs, was actually getting some users though!

• Cado: A gifting service centered on local businesses. Built a prototype with two cofounders, piloted it for ~3 months, spun it down.
