🚧 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.
