🚧 This site is under construction! It's just a list of a few projects right now. 🚧
Hi, I'm Galen! I currently work as a Research Software Engineer at Brown University, building mobile and web apps for research.
I build things on the web in issue areas that often lack software engineering resources, like academia, environmental studies, and politics.
Outside of work, I enjoy playing Old Time and Bluegrass music, songwriting, and spending time outdoors with friends.
Projects
A data dashboard for viewing live environmental data from Rhode Island's Naragansett Bay, built with Vue 3. I am currently working on refactoring and extending our map visualization components.
XMA Portal
2024
A data portal for biomechanics researchers at Brown and other universities built using Remix.js. Still under active development.
MAPPS
2023
A mobile app that tracks location data for a pandemic prevention study in Brown University's school of public health. I worked on design, engineering, and deployment with another developer.
A website for visualizing and exploring a novel dataset of lobbying positions in states across the U.S. I proposed and built this website as part of my work with the Climate and Development Lab at Brown University.
The page collects and stores data on likely voters in South Carolina and records them in Blue State Digital and NGP VAN. The page then generates a pledge-to-vote graphic for social media, filled in with the user’s responses, using an app I built with the Fabric.js framework.
A graphic-generator that allows Jaime supporters to generate their own comic book-style endorsement. The page uses a different version of the graphic-generator app that powers the pledge-to-vote page.
Willow
2020
A website that consolidates resources for coping with loss during COVID-19.
