This is my semi-professional headshot (thank you to Five-Star Liquor in Las Vegas for the glasses).

I entered the workforce in 1987, courtesy of the good people at Swensen’s Ice Cream in Costa Mesa. After a brief hiatus for high school and a five-year stint at Chalmers 76 station in Huntington Beach, my quest for knowledge and disposable income led me to Ojai, where I learned how to program for a popular technology called Flash.

But Flash was eventually killed by Apple and now I’m an IT/web developer.

City of Corona – Police Response Statistics

Calls for service received by the City of Corona Police Department
updated January 26, 2021

The data here is pulled directly from the city of Corona’s Open Data catalog. I made this as a one-time example by exporting a csv file and parsing it with Logstash to feed the documents into an Elasticsearch index. Kibana was then used to create the dashboard below; this can also be accessed via a SODA API for real-time updates.

City of Riverside – Crime Reports

Crime Reports from Engage Riverside
updated February 2, 2021

Another interactive dashboard example, using information from Riverside Open Data. Numbers can be filtered by type of crime, premise, neighborhood policing center, or date histograms.

Batch geocoding proved difficult and was eventually discarded due to the abundance of intersection strings and unreliable “no match” entries.
