Data Science Colloquium Series: From
September 2016 to February 2018, the IU DS Invited Speaker series hosted over
20 lecturers ranging from industry CEOs, architects, local entrepreneurs, tech
industry professionals and military data technicians. These events were held on
the IU campus but also made available live online via IU’s Zoom streaming
service offering. I used a camera setup to record each of these sessions while
also making them available to those dialing in, after which I made edits to the
videos and manually created closed captioning files for all before adding them
onto the DS Colloquium Series page.
IU
CSCI B649 Online course: Starting
in the summer of 2013, I was hired to do video editing for one of the first
online courses in IU’s new Data Science degree. This required taking separate
movie clips recorded in Adobe Presenter, altering them from split view to
single view, and then fashioning them into compact lecture videos using Adobe
Premiere, where I improved the audio and worked to make the dialogue run more
smoothly. The end result was 70 lecture videos which have since been used in
the online class taught in the spring of 2014 to 2016, with further editing
done when needed. To comply with HDA regulations, I created closed captioning
files added to over 60 of the videos. I also designed the banners, background,
introductory video and icons used on the course site (cloudmooc.appspot.com).
eHumanity Research Paper: From fall of 2011 to January 2012, the
eHumanity Project staff worked to write a paper
detailing our work for submission to Future Generation Computer Systems: The
International Journal of Grid Computing and eScience. I located and read
several journal articles to find references that would be appropriate for our
subject matter. I also wrote the majority of five different sections in the
finished paper detailing the development, user testing, and goals of our
project. As of now, it has been successfully submitted to FGCS.
eHumanity Logo: In early 2011, the Indiana
University Community Grids Laboratory asked me to create a new logo for their eHumanity website, which aims to create a database hosting
the Native American collections of several museums that would then be made
available to Native schools and communities. I made half a dozen potential
logos for them using Photoshop, keeping in close communication with the project
members to get their opinions. A final design was selected and fleshed out over
two months. From there it received user input that led to a final product which
is now visible on the site, www.e-humanity.org.
“God
2 Go”: A ten-minute
movie involving at least six crew and cast members which I wrote, co-directed,
and starred in. This involved the use of professional set-lighting methods and
multiple digital cameras, all of which was then edited in Final Cut Pro 5,
complete with special effects, to form a satirical look on how God might
undertake to find a replacement prior to going on vacation.
