Projects

Below are a few of my projects. I am always looking for new data visualization projects. Data helps us to appreciate the similarities and differences between places, eras, peoples, etc. Perhaps most importantly it helps us to understand and be in awe of scale of history and the world we live in.

Democracy Around The World

No two democracies are the same but what remains consistent across the democratic world is the presence of political parties. Their power and influence vary by country. Some parties live and die within months, while others continue to win elections and last for decades.

Which parties have been the most dominant? Which country has the highest voter turnout rate? Which countries have had the most parties hold the Head of Government? This project attempts to find the answers to some of those questions and others by measuring the success of 200+ political parties from over 70 countries across 1,000+ (and counting) elections.

Sports Fan Misery Calculator

Being a sports fan can be a painful experience, but some fan bases have it far worse than others. Are you one of them? You may think the teams you follow bring you misery, but what if you could know not only precisely how miserable they make you and how many more (if any) championship/cup/trophy wins you will likely see in the rest of your life? That's what this sets out to do, using the power of data!
