Juicy's Portfolio

Humanitys team is a 501C3 non profit with a vision to make conscious living pervasive by 2040. An audacious goal, and also one that aligned with my vision and mission. I met Steve, the world wide director and cofound in 2017, also at the emerging technologies conference. Towards the end of 2022, I began on their team by overhauling their system, plugging leaks, and creating new systems that will support them in their audacious vision of growth and sharing of the wisdom.

Features

• Video transcription and translation service that works with 75 languages and integrates with vimeo for subtitles. 
• Real time heatmap of traffic on the website
• Integration with an industry leader CRM and marketing tool (Infusionsoft) which has given deep insight to how effective marketing strategies work and what tools are needed for them
• Integrated a custom email editor to support sending near real-time notifications to their 500K+ email list
• Solidified backend architecture to provide greater levels of stability and scalability
• Integration with multiple platforms to syncronize and aggregate data across multiple systems to provide more comprehensive, integrated views about what is happening.

I was inspired by a permaculture action day by a group in Boulder that I met in 2017 when i first presented GroupUp at the Emerging technologies conference at sunrise ranch. This grew at the beginning of the pandemic. We had a community hub space in downtown Boulder for about 9 months to support in growing the community. From there, through word of mouth, over 3 years, its has grown to having ~3000 people signed up, about ~110 people paying $22/month to post events and use the ticketing platform, and nearly $150K in ticket sales in the past year. 

Features

• Event system with robust tools including ticketing, stats, discount codes, QR checkin, ability to split payouts and list expenses with an itemized list at the end of the year of all expenses for event producers for write offs on taxes. Customizable ticket receipt emails with included PDFs of tickets. Ability for event producers to communicate directly with ticket holders.
• Gamification around points as social capital. People received points for certain actions like check in to events or filling out profile that gave them points they could then gift to others
• Human design and gene key profiles
• Requests and offers
• Multi-tier memberships providing access to different tools
• 5 local businesses on boarded into a local discount program

Nectar was the first social network that I partnered with someone to help bring the vision to fruition. Eros came on as both a funder and designer. We connected with people like Barbara Marx Hubbard and the evolutionary ambassadors to help tailor tools to support the conscious evolution of technology. During this time we partnered with a regenerative living summit to provide the calendar and communications technology for their event and for Arise music festival, which we built a custom calendar system for to support their many stages and unique issue of calendar/app functionality in low internet environments.

Features

• Linking of facebook and a tool that would re-make connections automatically when your friends from facebook joined the app
• Advanced searchability / query-ability functions to support discovering people in the network to connect with
• EG. Filters would allow you to ask a question like: Who do I not know, that has the highest number of mutual friends, that is also interested in technology
• Events system with ticketing and QR code system built in
• Social posting with replies, comments, push notifications, etc
• Granular interest picker to give extra granular ability for people to select their interests
• Affiliate system built in to track who was onboarding people
• Back end architecture with a load balancer and horizontally scalable architecture to support rapid growth and expansion (although the scaling part wasnt necessary on this project)

In 2015 i was introduced to Android Jones and I invited him to one of my favorite places in Boulder, the Fiske Planetarium, with the intention / desire for him to create a show for the planetarium. He agreed so I became the lead producer for the event that brought Android Jones’s work to a dome format for the first time. This event was attended by 1000 people in 1 night. I organized a gallery in the lobby with visionary artist, jewelers, glass blowers, and other artists. Alex and Alyson Grey both came out to the show.

I also built an app for Android Jones’s Artwork. Promoted very minimally so not much usage, likely 1000 or less. The app was launched at the planetarium show.

Features

• Digital content library of Android Jones’s Content, both video and prints
• Commenting ability with push notifications for comments / replies
• Ability to digitally hang artwork on a picture you can take with the app

Groupup was my first iteration of a conscious social network. I moved to Boulder in 2014 with a vision to create technology to serve evolution. I learned from living in the Boulder Creek Community what intention community looks like and many organizing principles from ic.org.

This served an intentional community of 40 people. We had monthly potlucks and organizing meetings. This also served as a tool to share information in a digital content library. It grew to 200 people spread purely by word of mouth / relationship with Juicy (Tom).

Features

• Coinbase and Dwolla integration, monthly subscriptions per group, direct payments between people in ACH USD or Bitcoin.
• Ability to get debit card to directly spend money sent in the network with Bitcoin (coinbase)
• Community pages with posts, events, news, voting, and custom profile questions for each group
• Holonic group organizing (nested group structure)
• Chrome and Firefox plugins that enabled bookmarking and sorting content from any page on the internet
• Advanced integrated calendar feature aggregating calendars across multiple groups
• Advanced mapping feature that pulled in aggregated information from the Global Ecovillage Network, the Fellowship for Intentional Communities, and NuMundo. As well as yoga studios and spiritual centers
• Android / iOS app and web platform

In 2012, I started working with an organization called RTRT.me. After a few smaller projects, I took on the large project of creating a mobile app from the ground up to serve the ever growing marathon and large running events. I was the solo app developer that got it off the ground and scaled. I also built a custom mapping system for event directors to plot the courses on a map that we could project the position of runners on the map in real time. This map was very robust and very battle tested. So much in fact, that since 2016 onward, the New York Marathon has been using the mapping system I built embedded in their mobile app for their tracking system. Even when the main sponsor of the event has been Tata, an organization that paid $1M for the lead sponsorship of the event and rights to publish the mobile apps. The New York Road Runners stood behind the mapping tech they knew would work and said that our mapping system would be embedded in their app.

After a few years of working with the New York Marathon, they trusted me, with two months timeline to build a medical tracking system for the New York Marathon. This had real-time syncing of records between 30 different medical stations around the marathon. 

Additional works at RTRT includes Real-Time remote racing, both traditional barcode and QR code ticketing systems and check in systems, advanced tools for elevation profile editing, course heatmaps for real-time views for course density

Stats: Has been viewed by 60M people around the world. Localized to 7 different languages. The app was built in such a way so that events and event series could have their own app and we had an app that had all of the events in it. This lead to 10-20 white labeled apps.

Seebauer Research Group Website + Engineering Ethics 2008

I created a website for Edmund Seebauers Research group at the university of illinois. This also entailed reading a book on engineering ethics and translating the book so that it could be made available on the internet.
