🔗 jameshenderson.online🤝 How they support Houston
James Henderson designed, built, and maintains Houston Data Quest. He turns the City of Houston's raw open-data feeds into the maps, charts, red-flag detectors, and guided missions that make this site usable by students, journalists, and everyday residents. Development time, code, and ongoing maintenance are donated to keep the project free for the public.

Civic-data engineering: building reliable import pipelines for Houston Open Data, data-quality scoring, and automated red-flag detection that catches impossible dates, broken coordinates, out-of-area ZIP codes, and missing values before they mislead anyone.
✅ What they contribute
- ✔ Full-stack development of the Laravel + Livewire application
- ✔ Data import pipelines and the red-flag scanning engine
- ✔ Ongoing maintenance, security updates, and new features
