UberCheats (2020)
Chrome Extension
I discovered that UberEATS systematically underpays its drivers. I built a Chrome Extension which allowed couriers to analyze their Uber statements and determine when they had been underpaid.

Red Friends, Blue Friends (2017)
Website
Tool for grassroots organizers. Allows you to ask your Facebook friends to contact their senators and influence Senate votes. Facebook has disabled the search-by-state functionality which powered this tool initially, so the current iteration searches for friends in the top 50 cities in each state.

A Perceptually Based Model of Visual Adaptation (2014)
Master's Thesis
A perceptual model that accounts for the time-varying changes to perceived color and brightness that occur due to time-varying adaptation and the transition between cone- and rod-mediated vision.

Garden Path (2011)
Research Application
A GUI to create rapidly flickering gradients in order to find the point at which two orthogonal colors have the same perceived brightness, creating an illusion of a non-flickering strip (the "Garden Path"). It is used in Bruce Bridgeman's research on synesthesia, including a paper Metacontrast masking.

Image Sorter (2010)
UC Santa Cruz CMPS 160: Intro to Computer Graphics
We analyze images and sort them based on an "importance" score. The goal is to automatically detect low-quality and repetitive photos, sorting photographs in a way that prioritizes both uniqueness and quality.
