Carnegie Mellon University | Technical Writing + Web Development

CASOS is a University Center within the Institute for Software Research at Carnegie Mellon University's School of Computer Science. I worked at CASOS for most of the 2000s. Initially hired to tell the story of dynamic network analysis, it is here I gained a technical underpinning in hand coding HTML, CSS, and PHP.  Here are examples of that work. 

This works sample contains images of web pages, including product page graphics, that I produced while managing the department website in the mid-2000s.

The Tragedy of Julius Caesar and Dynamic Network Analysis

The following document contains screenshots of a help file Matt developed for ORA, (Organizational Risk Analyzer), a tool for dynamic network analysis developed by Dr. Kathleen M. Carley of Carnegie Mellon's School of Computer Science, CASOS Institute. Matt was the lead technical writer and developed a data set for the help file modeled on the play, The Tragedy of Julius Caesar by William Shakespeare.

ORA is a network analysis tool that detects risks or vulnerabilities in an organization’s design structure, which is the relationship among its personnel, knowledge, resources, and tasks entities. These entities and relationships are represented by the Meta-Matrix. Measures that take as input a Meta-Matrix are used to analyze the structural properties of an organization for potential risk.
