Baseball articles and statistics website. Responsibilities included managing small team of developers, maintaining a scrum-based agile workflow, organizing documentation, working closely with the data science team, and overseeing deployments to production.

Divvy It Up!
After growing tired of the complicated math involved in sharing costs when traveling with friends, I decided to make a tool to do the math for you. You can add events, friends, and costs, and it will tell you who owes money to each person in the end. Now, it's a site where people can split costs for travel, rent, or anything. Pie charts show how costs have been shared.

Photography
Mount Rushmore
Mount Rushmore National Memorial, South Dakota
The memorial carved into the Black Hills features 60-foot sculptures of Washington, Jefferson, Teddy Roosevelt, and Lincoln. The plan initially featured American heroes like Lewis and Clark, Red Cloud, and Buffalo Bill Cody, but sculptor Gutzon Borglum decided the sculpture would have broader appeal with the four presidents.
Sunset Over Riddarfjärden
Stockholm, Sweden
The sunset over the Riddarfjärden as seen from an outlook called Monteliusvägen. A small crowd of people crammed the overlook to hug and take selfies and converse loudly. It should be rule to be silent during a sunset.
Cross in Pelourinho Square
Salvador, Brazil
Pelourinho is the historic center of Salvador, getting it name from the whipping post in its central plaza where African slaves were disciplined and punished during the Portuguese Colonial Period in the 16th and 17th centuries.
Devils Tower
Devils Tower National Monument, Wyoming
The rock formation in Wyoming formed about 40.5 million years ago when magma pushed the ground upwards and then cooled, creating solid rock. If it cools quickly enough, the contraction will cause the rock to fracture in the direction that it once flowed. These fractures created the vertical columns that are visible today.
Royal Palace
Oslo, Norway
The Royal Palace in Oslo was built in the first half of the 19th century as the Norwegian residence of the French-born King Charles III of Norway, who reigned as king of Norway and Sweden.
Virginia Square Metro Station
Arlington, Virginia
A Washington Metro station on the Orange Line. If you look closely, you can see a woman wearing a green sweater smearing her way down the right side of the platform.
Upper Lake
Glendalough, County Wicklow, Ireland
Followed a path from the monastic ruins of Glendalough to find this sweeping view between the mountains. The Glendalough Valley was formed during the last ice age by a glacier which left a moraine across the valley mouth. The Poulanass River, which plunges into the valley from the south, created a delta, which eventually divided the original lake in two.
United States Air Force Memorial
Arlington, Virginia
The three memorial spires range from 201 feet to 270 feet high and appear to be soaring. The array of stainless steel arcs against the sky evoke the image of contrails of the Air Force Thunderbirds as they peel back in a precision 'bomb burst' maneuver.
Blue Dome in Oia
Santorini, Greece
One of many blue domes on the island of Santorini. Oia is a scenic village on the north west edge of the island.
Mylopotas Beach
Ios, Greece
This beach is the most popular on the island. It is lined with sundecks and beach bars, but the beach itself was surprisingly empty on this day.

Top Gun: Maverick
June 2, 2022 | reviews
A wonderful sequel, even more impressive considering it’s been 36 years. Kosinski has done a really good job honoring the story and style of the first, with many of the shots and scenes playing clear homage. Kosinski’s filmography is also a testament to how versatile he is. So far, so…
