WAVE Zine - Vol 1
A digital copy right to your inbox
Wave: Poetry Vol. 1 is the first zine from the Wave Collective Poetry Circle, a group of creatives who’ve been gathering twice monthly at Wave Collective in San Francisco (663 Haight St) to read—and sometimes write—poetry.
This zine is a collection of original original poems that emerged from those gatherings. It’s also a celebration of the act of gathering itself, and the community we have cultivated together.
Poetreats - Episode 1
A project by the wonderful Anna Spisak. Her vision is to pair poetry (in podcast form) with wonderful homemade cookies! This was the first episode, it features my poem make me paired with a Ginger Molasses Chai Cookie baked by Anna herself. Buy the Cookie here!
Hear the poem and my reflections on it here:
InspiredPoe – Contextual Poetry Generator
Ingests and parses text to create 'poetry'. A project for learning basic NLP and experimenting with nltk. It parses text, tokenizes it based on our needs and then uses some input stanza or meter data to generate new text based on words and concordances from the input text. Punctuation would have been nice.
Sendbloom
A previous employer. Over 3 years there, I had the opportunity to work with some extremely talented individuals to create sales enablement tools. Apart from our core email sending and reply detection technologies, my main area of user-facing feature work was around the Sendbloom Chrome Extension – an extremely powerful workflow management tool our customers spent a lot of time in. It sported a deep integration with Salesforce (for pipeline management), Twilio (for making calls, leaving voicemails, phone number spoofing), LinkedIn Sales Nav (for LI based prospecting), Gmail and Outlook (for quickly tossing people into the right Sendbloom Email Campaign). Honestly, more people should be using chrome extensions the way we did.
Here are release announcements related to some of the work I did there:
Open-Click Feed and Salesforce Integration
Facebook Messenger Quick Switcher
A chrome extension that enables Slack-style conversation switching on messenger.com Hit Cmd+k to navigate conversations.
The Laziest Boy
The world's best Mobile Electric Tour Guiding System. A retrofitted Lay-Z-Boy chair. With go-kart wheels, electric motors, and its very own Android application.
I worked on this project with three other amazing engineers. I was mostly involved with creating the Android application, programming the microcontroller, testing the printed circuit board, and procuring the resources necessary to build out the product.
