Harris Hudson

Harris Hi, my name is Harris and I am a retired IT professional (after a 36 year career). I am located somewhere between sunny Canberra ACT Australia and foggy San Francisco CA USA, or beyond. These days I enjoy many other activities and coding projects outside of work.

My San Francisco Story

If you have come to this website in search of my San Francisco experience in 2019 - then you are in the right place. I wrote the core initial version of Visual Field after I found myself unemployed for an extended period of time when living in the San Francisco Bay Area in 2019. You can read more about my SF story here; mysfstory.

Visual Field

I developed Visual Field in late 2019 as an attempt to build a text and spatial enabled true server-less database functioning entirely within the browser.

Come 2024, sadly WebSQL has now been deprecated without any HTML standards based relational database replacement being provided in modern browsers. I am currently assessing rewriting Visual Field to use the SQLite wasm engine. But this will be a major undertaking and wont be a HTML standards based solution. Stay tuned.

Code Repo

https://github.com/harrishudson

I have made a small number of my coding projects Open Source. You can find these at my code Repo. These include;

Leaflet.zoomSVG. A Leaflet 2D SVG Renderer that does not re-project or redraw features upon map zoom change. Currently intended for line and polygon layers (not so applicable, and needs further work, for point layers).
Visual Field. Process and Visualize your data sets directly in your browser. Ideal for online, edge computing and offline scenarios.
Speedo. Speedometer (with HUD mode and limit warning) by Harris Hudson. Demo; https://harrishudson.com/speedo.
Geo Join. Simple Opt-In Location Sharing. Demo; https://geojoin.org.
CFRender. A NetCDF CF Grid Rendering Toolkit.
VisionSphere. Camera Motion Detection for Raspberry Pi’s with focus on Australian residents..
