Some of my Projects
Disclaimer
A few of these ideas have been on my list since college. I'd start a draft, get pulled into something else, and never come back to it. AI tools have made it a lot easier to turn those old drafts into something real. Yes, I use AI. So does everyone — let's not pretend otherwise.
I have plenty more ideas I'd like to build out — they just need time, which is in short supply between a full-time job and three kids at home. If you're visiting this page and have ideas for how any of these projects could be improved, feel free to send me an email. I'll get to it. Fair warning that “soon” might mean a few weekends out.
Everything here uses publicly available data at the time each project was built. Source code and documentation live in dedicated GitHub repos linked from each project — except for the MAPS website and the iOS and Android apps. Those repos stay private because the code contains API keys and user-related information, and I'd rather not put myself (or anyone else) into legal trouble down the road.
An end-to-end Databricks medallion pipeline analyzing whether Medicare actually pays more for better hospital care. Built on 10 million CMS records across 13 Delta tables, the analysis finds spending and outcomes are nearly independent at the hospital level (r = 0.033).

Healthcare Policy · 10-Year Forecast · Dashboard Open DashboardThe MAPS Assessment is built on a proprietary framework that identifies whether two career paths secretly reinforce each other — or drain each other.
