Reading & Writing This semester has been projects for Quinnipiac’s ICM 508 on Audio and Video. As the semester comes to a close now is a great time to reflect on how far I’ve come. Prior to this class I have had some amount of experience in the audio and video space both in my education and professionally. Between 2005-2010 […]

If you’re half as curious as I was about a data-driven approach to visualizing where to live in Colorado then I present to you the following article I’ve just published on Medium. Where to Thrive in Colorado: A data driven dive into what sets the major cities apart in the state of Colorado.
