 Who

Hi! My name is Jon.

I've always been fascinated with art and science -- the creative and the technical; abstraction and usability; expressiveness and purpose.

So I am drawn to projects where these domains intersect: interface design, web development, and data visualization. But I am fortunate to have found inspiration all around me while working on all kinds of things.

After nearly a decade honing my skills, front-end development is where I feel most comfortable and able to apply my inspiration and perspiration.

How

Tools & Methods

As they say, the web is constantly evolving. And I can't pretend to keep up with it all. But I too evolve -- seeking new forms, new tools, new solutions. My perfectionist nature means that I usually gravitate towards open source technologies that allow me to tweak and customize, and they're usually more fun too.


Frameworks, Libraries, Tools, etc.

Projects

Crossfiltering Hawai‘i Campaign Finance Data

Inspired by coverage of the lack of transparency in Hawaiian political money (Civil Beat), I found my way to data on data.hawaii.gov on political spending, campaign contributions and financial disclosures. Then I started building a tool with Crossfilter to quickly get a sense of who are the big players in Hawai‘i politics and just how much money is involved.

Methods: d3, crossfilter, dc.js

Hanalei Tide and Moon Calendar

While at PMNM, this involved a dual effort of graphic work on the main calendar layout, and then I used d3 to render the month grids and exported to PDF for print. Fish gonads!

Battle of Midway

Another PMNM project, designed and built a commemorative site for the WWII Battle of Midway, with a simple interactive timeline and a lot of Dojo. It has some excellent content supplied in-house and features some impressive public domain imagery.
