Orson is a community for independent filmmakers that connects them directly to independent theaters.

AnyClip was the first to bring rich search inside of film through creation of proprietary metadata. At AnyClip I was hire #2 and codeveloped the tagging ontology underlying our metadata creation engine ClipIt, created statistical models to predict movie title search volumes, and negotiated with content partners including Sony DADC, Criterion, Focus Features and Lionsgate. I designed a content intake system entirely with open source software that processed 3,500 DVDs into searchable video files tagged with at least 400 attributes in eight months.

Digistream is a national chain of private investigators specializing in workers’ compensation fraud. At Digistream, I was responsible for the timely reception, editing and delivery of investigative reports from investigators across multiple regional offices. I authored the company’s first style guide and unified brand integrity through the standardization of reports. I developed a proprietary .NET database script generator for the automatic authoring of investigative reports, reducing average turnaround from two weeks to three days.

The California Aggie is the student-run newspaper of the University of California, Davis, a daily 20-page broadsheet with a circulation of 18,000. I started as a copy reader but was promoted to the copy position after three months in recognition of my efforts to revise the Aggie’s style guide for online reporting. Otherwise I was responsible for verifying edits of the copy reader staff, general fact checking, chasing down columnists past deadline, and putting the paper to bed twice a week.
