Past side projects include: organizing arts festivals, and "The Canada Effect" - YouTube videos I produced after interviewing a few hundred Canadians about their healthcare - which spawned a full feature documentary "The Healthcare Movie" - narrated by Kiefer Sutherland. I then traveled to screenings and spoke on panels about healthcare.

My side project is a Course Scheduling application (http://sourceforge.net/projects/coursescheduler/ & https://github.com/CourseScheduler/coursescheduler) that allows students to retrieve course information from their university and then build a schedule of classes based off of that information. It currently only works for Kettering University (Flint, MI), but I'm currently working on abstracting the application to work for other universities.
