Projects

• IIIF Downloader - Try it out now

  • A web app that allows users to download IIIF (International Image Interoperability Framework) items/documents in PDF format
  • Users can configure size of downloaded images and choose whether to run OCR (Optical Character Recognition) on the PDF
  • Useful for students, researchers, archivists, and anyone working with IIIF items
  • Frontend built using React + TypeScript + Vite + Tailwind CSS - Source code
  • Backend built using Python + FastAPI + my fork of the iiif-download package + OCRmyPDF - Source code

• Basic panorama viewer using Three.js - Demo

  • Quick project that I was inspired to work on to allow more flexibility when embedding 360-degree images (panoramas) in ArcGIS Storymaps
  • Allows users to view and interact with 360-degree panoramas, and to configure and customize the viewer, "clamping" the view to a specified range of angles.
  • Built using Three.js and a React + TypeScript + Vite frontend
  • Created with ArcGIS Storymaps in mind, but can be used elsewhere

• Geolocation web app created to help other students learn how to use the geolocation and Google Maps APIs - Demo

  • Created in Fall 2024 for a class presentation in CSCI 4300 (Web Programming) at the University of Georgia
  • Basic functionality, including showing the user's location on a map, searching for places, and displaying locations of McDonald's and Chick-fil-A restaurants within the map view
  • Restaurant locations come from the excellent resurce All The Places
  • Built using Next.js and the @vis.gl/react-google-maps library
