Three interactive kiosk experiences I built as the sole developer for the Smithsonian's National Museum of Natural History. Static HTML/CSS/JS applications with GSAP animations, optimized for 640x480 BrightSign hardware. Includes Hippo Time Travel (video-driven), Predator, and Prey interactives.
I was the sole developer on three interactive kiosk experiences for the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History, built for BrightSign media player hardware at 640x480 resolution.
I built all three interactives from scratch, 100% of the commits on each project. These are static HTML/CSS/JS applications, not frameworks, designed to run reliably on constrained kiosk hardware.
A video-driven interactive with GSAP animations and touch-driven transitions. 105 commits. The main challenge was video optimization, getting smooth playback and transitions on BrightSign hardware with limited processing power.
A video interactive exploring predator adaptations. 19 commits. Companion piece to Prey, built as a pair for the same exhibit space.
A video interactive exploring prey defense mechanisms. 16 commits. Companion to Predator.
There is also a Hunt Like a Bat interactive in the same NMNH exhibit suite. That was built primarily by a colleague. I contributed only 2 of its 52 commits.

An AI-powered voice kiosk platform I built at Interactive Knowledge. Each deployment is a themed character that visitors talk to using natural speech. I built the React frontend (167 of 196 commits) and contributed to the headless Drupal 11 CMS. Built with React, OpenAI, Google Cloud TTS, and Web Speech API.
An interactive touch-screen map wall for the Berkeley County Museum in Moncks Corner, SC. Built with React, MapLibre GL, and Electron for kiosk deployment. A colleague was the primary developer; I contributed bug fixes, content syncs, and QA.
An interactive web experience for the American Revolution, built for the American Battlefield Trust and the DAR. Features a map of Patriot and Loyalist sites, story pages, and multimedia content. I contributed an email/SMS signup form and styling fixes.
