Geographic Voter Panel (since 2019)

I use voter data in some recent work. This data pipeline generates the main geographic panel used in many current and upcoming projects, and is the product of many problems solved. I'm immensely proud of this code and the number of technical solutions that make it possible.

Experiments in oTree

oTree is flexible software for running experiments in the lab and online. Here are some experiments I've written over the years, run at Iowa State University, University of Pittsburgh, and Leheigh University.

T+1 Presenter (since 2020) GitHub

Some ideas are better understood when animated. I started using Manim animations for my students during Covid but couldn't find open source software for presenting animations live. So I wrote a simple javascript apt I use for presenting visualizable research and course material.

Economics Animations (since 2020)

Some things are clearer when visualized. Animations can often go one step further. These notebooks generate animations I use regularly to present my research, as a classroom tool, and for my youtube channel.

Open Grader (since 2022) GitHub

I created a simple program that lets students submit photos of their work through Dropbox and automatically receive graded PDFs with detailed feedback. Built with JupyterLab, it saves me hours of grading time while giving students easy access to assignments and comments on their phones.
