Summary of Project

The page is designed to facilitate patent leads and early stage networking over emerging Intellectual Property and solutions in general. It aims to connect innovators, investors, and industry experts to foster collaboration and accelerate the development of new technologies.

It does this through a 3D concept mapping engine, that facilitates an interactive UI/UX element that maps a subject while also affecting search results in the bottom of the page by clicking on a mapped element. This is the part I have built and can model.

The other major half of the project, is a quiz crediting engine. I have data structures I'm playing with to support the comment filtering functionality using this engine, but the main goal is to use it for a quiz system that can be used for patent leads and general networking. The idea is to have a quiz that tests knowledge on a subject, and then credits the user with a score that can be used to filter comments. The concept mapping UI/UX is an engaging way to follow along which filters learning-content results.

This is still in the early stages of development, but I have some ideas on how to implement it using SQL and PHP.

The project aims to be a siginificant element in discussions of government efficiency as it becomes like an interactive team playbook. Getting open means proving you have skills to understand a subject thoroughly. Politicans have a lot to sort through, often needing the expertise to know which decisions are best to make. A major part of government networking can be streamlined while also enabling the transparency many seek.

It is deeply believed by me that the right technology plan will be key in addressing the National Debt challenge. I am confident that Open-Source initiatives, such as the one I'm trying to launch as part of this project around the interactive concept mapping UI/UX, will play a significant role in this effort.

I'm launching an open-source initiative to further develop and refine this concept mapping engine, with the goal of making it a widely accessible tool for innovators and researchers. Below, is the link to the page on the:

Technologies Utilized

Techniques Applied

• Leveraged advanced JavaScript techniques to create interactive web elements, such as the collapsible side and bottom panels as well as the 3D mapping interface.


• Data-Modeling for visualizations is powered by clever database design and SQL queries. Porting the data required utilization of the HTML data-attribute tag.

Challenges Faced

• Finding others who are using these techniques to build UIs was very challenging. I had to watch a lot of YouTube videos and blend a lot of exampled to get a working shell.


• Then, understanding how to design my database schema to power the visuals effectively was another significant hurdle.

Techniques gained or lessons learned from this project...

• Learned HTML and CSS to build the inital demo of the UI/UX I dreamed up in 2019, which it took me until 2021 to get a working demo. The project had a lot of managerial nuances and large goals to frame out which slowed me down. I also did all the logo and theory on how this could be a cornerstone to paying off the national debt. That legacy page can be found here.


• In late 2025, I got a working shell of the 3D interface working while I was finishing up a Full-Stack Javascript Developer Bootcamp. This required the bootcamp, in addition to several Udemy courses on 3D graphics using WebGL.
