            <h3>GIS Analysis: Dusky Sounds Moose Hunt</h3>

                <p class="vjs-no-js">To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web

            </video>
            <p>This project was inspired by a clothing store promotion - it focused around finding moose that have been
                rumoured to live in the South
                Island of New Zealand. Kind of like Bigfoot in the United States but not as extreme!</p>

            <p>Completing this project exercised the analysis and research skills I've acquired over the years, and also
                gave me a chance to flex my
                GIS muscle. It made me realise how much I miss the analysis and discovery parts of my old army role. It
                also reminded me that there
                are a lot of opportunities out there to keep up my skills and learn more about GIS.</p>

            <p>The enjoyment of I gained from this project validated my decision to persue a GIS specialisation within
                my Geography studies in
                addition to all the other stuff I love about geography.</p>

            <h3>This Website</h3>

            <p> My old website was good for what it was. An initial foray into web development and design, that served
                as a CV / Resume Replacement.
                However it looks dated after four months in action. I made the decision: it needed to be refactored.
                What you look at now is v2.0! I'm
                pretty pleased with how it looks now - but ask me in six months and I'm sure I'll want to start from
                scratch - again!</p>

            <h3>Summer of Tech Hackfest 2014</h3>

            <p>At <a href="http://summeroftech.co.nz" target="_blank">Summer of Tech</a>'s Inaugural Auckland Hackfest
                in 2014, my team (The Land Bankers) won first
                place. We created a python web app that pulls in data from a Land Information New Zealand (LINZ)
                database and displays that data on a
                map. We set the system up so that you can zoom in to any location in New Zealand and see every house
                that was sold in that area, in a
                given period of time. The animation rendered such that it was clear and intuitive - a new user could get
                a sense for property sales
                activity in Auckland City over a year, in just a few seconds.</p>

            <p>The thing I loved most about this project was how extensible it was. We could substitute LINZ data for
                Ministry of Education Data and
                see how school decile ratings have changed. We could fuse decile ratings with house prices, sales
                activity and crime data and create a
                picture of how areas in Auckland are gentrifying over time - and be able to make predictions based on
                that data.</p>

            <h3>Bachelors Degree Planner</h3>

            <p> Planning my double major was a major pain. I encountered pain points at virtually every stage of my
                planning. From discovering courses
                to scheduling those courses, to managing work load and dealing with course clashes. I designed a system
                that would interface with the
                University of Auckland's website (and hopefully later on, course databases) with the goal of making the
                data easier to access and
                process. In August 2014 I put this project on hold (I was about 40% through implementing it at the time)
                because UoA have actually
                released a tool simillar to what I was working on. Bugger!</p>
