Transplant Interface
Client: A Team of Nephrologists Located in Pittsburgh, PA
Purpose: Develop a user-friendly website that consists of a kidney-doner database that allows users to access transplant data on every US transplant center easily, locate the nearest center, compare transplant metrics (number of transplants, waitlists, and survival rates for adults and pediatrics, to name a few), and initiate transplant evaluation for select transplant centers.
Essential Tools: Google Map API, Google Directions API, JavaScript, Velo by Wix

Tableau
Client: National Trust for Historic Preservation: Rosenwald Conference
Purpose: The Rosenwald School Database doesn't support comparing salient data in an easy-to-use format. This project demonstrates how visualization tools like Tableau impact users' understanding of Rosenwald data, create visually interactive experiences and generate novel interpretations. Instead of scrapping the database for all 5000 entries and transposing them into Tableau, I focused on North Carolina schools in Durham, Orange, and Wake counties.
Tools: Tableau, Duke University Georectification Software, ParseHub

Note: Example 1 utilizes Duke University's Georefencing Software to create a map of 1920 Durham County that aligns spatial data to a geographic grid.
