Sculpting Order From Chaos ★ johncarmody.com

Full Stack Development + Interactive Design + Teaching

My career has taken me... from managing a software store to database systems manager to network administrator to network emergency response technician to manager of information systems to web master to web developer to web designer to university professor.

What’s common to all these skills & roles?
Data management and design – the constant in all the information revolutions since Gutenberg.

Just look at this page from top to bottom for a sample of all the creative things I do in the realms of physical & digital media.

If you can describe it, I can build it and teach it: custom WordPress dev + data-driven interactive solutions for organizations which need something more than something off the shelf.

The sweet spot, that is, between development, design and data - that's where I work and reside.

Helping organizations & schools emerge from outdated systems, practices and standards is a specialty. Contact me to see how you and your students can get exactly what you want.

Biography
Upon being expelled in December of senior year I became a high school drop-out; before that, aptitude tests reported I was best suited to be a farmer.
Reading
I threw out my television more than 25 years ago, which leaves me plenty of time for reading.
Studio
My work studio is a co-mingling of the obsolete and the cutting edge, a regular Collyer Mansion for the modern man.
Photography
It took me awhile to go digital – a penultimate apostasy in my book. Want to see what I can do with a crummy camera?
Music
I cannot read or write a note of music — I taught myself by ear to play different instruments & write songs in sundry styles & genres.
Video
These are mostly time-lapse experiments – I shot the imagery and composed and performed the soundtracks.
Projects
Highlights of lectures, client and faculty work, proofs of concept in JavaScript, graphic design, live data sets, animation, information design and more.
News
Recent additions to this site: web projects, design projects, photo galleries, original music & video — you name it.
Resources
An archive of articles which tie into the web projects I build, the university courses I teach and the lecture audiences I address.

Can You Solve
“The Great Wall of Music”?

Can you spot the 12 differences?

A section of my studio was featured in the Washington Post Magazine's “Second Glance” section.

This installation evokes the better elements of a New York loft, a Berlin nightclub, a London used book & record store and an LA pawn shop. All in a Washington cellar.

I work inside a growing piece of art, an overlay of a gallery, performance space, design office and recording studio.

SOME CLIENT, FACULTY & PERSONAL WORK

Working with clients of all sizes, I am highly skilled at creating custom database-driven interactive solutions using WordPress, PHP, mySQL, jQuery, AJAX & Bootstrap. Database management is a specialty.

Most people in my field do web development *or* web design – I do both back- and front-end. I am well-versed in creating innovative applications serving up API-driven rich content from Scribd, Flickr, SoundCloud, YouTube, Twitter, Google Custom Search, Disqus, Wufoo and others.

I specialize in creating interactive storytelling experiences through integrating custom programming and open-source APIs in WordPress

Some Of My Custom Designs @ TEEPUBLIC

Custom Face Mask Designs, Too

SOME OF MY ORIGINAL COMPOSITIONS

I cannot read or write a note of music.

I taught myself by ear to play numerous instruments and write & arrange words, music and melodies into songs.

This is a small sampling of original songs, audio collages, time-lapse videos and photography I’ve composed, recorded, shot and otherwise created over the years.

This includes musical work I composed for instruments I cannot play (violin, cello, piano, baritone saxophone, tenor saxophone, others.)

I played in a lot of bands, made recordings, saw some parts of the USA that whet my appetite for travel seen through the windows of a band van.

Original Song:
“I Really Didn't Mean It”

When I wrote “I Really Didn’t Mean It”, I was thinking of a 'Buck Owens backed by the Stones in '65 with the drummer from Blondie' kind-of-thing, with a bouncy Buddy Holly-type guitar solo too.

This song was performed here by one of my 1st bands, The Revellaires, released on Top Records. Play it loud. Sing along.

>> Send it to your friends, make 'em feel better.

Words + Music © John Carmody.

Original Video:
“RESOLUTION NO. ONE”

“Resolution No. One” was influenced by Salvador Dali, Man Ray, Edward Hopper and The Who.

The goal was to create something that reflected brooding mood and intensity, solitude and anonymity. I wanted to shoot and edit time-lapse footage with people and animals and nature.

Listen closely to the soundscape I built for it – all the water, wind & bird sounds are signals from shortwave and pirate radio stations.

All You Need To Know About Me

I went and pulled the plug more than 25 years ago, as an experiment in essential living.

Since 1992 I have been studying American heritage while living a pop culture hermitage.

That means: no TV, no Facebook, no Twitter, no Instagram, no texting, no celebrities, no sports, no video games, no crummy music, no credit cards, no debt, no logos, no smart phone, no trends…

You get the idea.

Me?

Aptitude tests in high school reported I was best suited to be a farmer.

Expelled my senior year from Gonzaga College High School in Washington, I was a high school drop-out for awhile, living the life of a musician, playing shows and trying to get my bands signed to record contracts.

Eventully I was accepted by the Catholic University of America despite having neither a high school diploma nor GED or SAT scores. I made Dean’s List and graduated from CUA with a BA in American History. >> Would you like to know more? <<

Unplugged Since 1992

For over 25 years now, I have been studying American heritage while living a pop culture hermitage:

SOME OF MY ORIGINAL COMPOSITIONS

I cannot read or write a note of music.

I taught myself by ear to play numerous instruments and write & arrange words, music and melodies into songs.

Original Song: “I Really Didn't Mean It”

When I wrote “I Really Didn’t Mean It”, I was thinking of a 'Buck Owens backed by the Stones in '65 with the drummer from Blondie' kind-of-thing, with a bouncy Buddy Holly-type guitar solo too.

Original Video: “RESOLUTION NO. ONE”

“Resolution No. One” was influenced by Salvador Dali, Man Ray, Edward Hopper and The Who.
