Hotchkissmade is a tiny research lab and branding for Kyle Hotchkiss’ personal projects. Work is generally focused on specific areas - the intersections of American culture and faith; and better understanding the collective American church. While a few research institutions are active in the space, Hotchkissmade aims to 1) prioritize building open source databases allowing others to perform their own research and analysis and 2) build useful tools to help other believers navigate these topics.
The brand originated in the early 2010s during Kyle’s university days when he was designing theoretical software around weather balloons, trajectory predictors, and weirdly enough, Madagascar song themed Christmas light shows.
Professional background
Kyle comes from a 15 year software development background, focused on nonprofit, advocacy, and political spaces. He was able to osmosis just enough about big data and public datasets in his day job to know the right questions to ask.
