Crain’s sites

As part of my freelance web developer career, I made a number of web apps for Crain’s Chicago Business, based around a news cycle and a data set. One example was Mayor Daley’s Contributions, which let you query a database of contributions made to the mayor in the run-up to the 2007 municipal elections. The contributions were also mapped. This was a Django app.
