Work: The site is done in PHP and MySQL and uses a combination of cron based scrapes as well as API interactions to gather data. The timeframe to launch was extremly short, 2-3 weeks and at this point development is on-going.

Task: As a part of the CU Connect (Student Portal) implementation the Student Government was to provide a service to serve student governemnt related news.
Work: UCSU (student gov) already had an existing web application built in Cold Fusion, my job was to extend the functionality by creating an RSS feed.

Project: Campaign Website
URL: http://www.whereisshe.info
Task: Given an extremly short time frame of less than 3 days this site needed to be completed as soon as possible in a static format.

Project: Content/Rush Management Application & Site Re-design
URL: http://www.coloradogreeks.com
Task: Create an online rush management application for the mens rush process. Add dynamic content to the existing websites (both IFC and Panhel) and create an online management application that would allow users with very little computer experience to update records and upload files to the site. Redesign site in order to gain similarity and a uniform desgin for pages and content.
Work: The site was developed using mySQL and PHP. The site contains two areas, the public website which contains content that is pulled from the database, and an administration site which is password protected. The administration site gives the users the ability to update, delete, and insert records relating to news and events as well as the ability to upload files to the web server. The rush administration of the application also has two parts, one for IFC and one for each fraternity. Fraternities can log onto the site to look up prospective members, via the search tool, who have registered via the registration screens and IFC can log on to administer both groups of users.

	Project: Tenant Directory URL:http://www.presidiotrust.gov/community/tenants/ Task: Redesign the tenant directory, graphically and technically.

Work: An intro page was created displaying all locations on a single page, on this page the user can click on a location to view it’s details page or a user can choose a category from a drop down list and view all of the locations in that category. The details page is database driven and allows for the content to appear dynamically as the user navigates from location to location.

I ensured that the graphic presentation of the new browser based application closely resembled that of the old access forms so that usability would not decrease after implementation.
