W2OPress

MasterCard Center

The MasterCard Center for Inclusive Growth had heard good things from the MasterCard Newsroom group regarding our work and needed a site redesign for an upcoming conference. This was the first opportunity to build a website using our new official software offering, W2OPress. I created a pinterest-styled interface and added ajax friendly ‘load more posts’ functionality to our suite of Wordpress plugin submodules. The entire site was developed, QA’d, debugged, and production-ready within five weeks.

MasterCard Responsive

The Engagement Bureau needed some significant re-theming (including the addition of off-canvas menus) to make it accessible to phones and tablets. I spent a great deal of time modularizing years old style sheets that were thousands of lines in length. The DevOps team made developing via local vagrant instance possible.

MasterCard Engagement Bureau

At a certain point, admins using the MasterCard Newsroom found themselves their own worst enemy by over-categorizing posts and abusing tags. They decided to approach from a new angle: to focus content by properly utilizing custom post types (News Briefs, Press Releases, Digital Press Kits, Images, and Videos), and to round it out by cross-categorizing using custom taxonomies.

In the Face of Pain

Purdue Pharma needed a better way to feature advocates for pain management and therapies on the site. Prior to this scope of work being approved, existing meta such as Voices of Hope (audio interviews), Advocate Perspectives (videos), and Stories of Inspiration (interview transcripts) were spread across several pages. I collected the meta and associated it with its respective advocate. Custom WordPress back-end queries were fed via Ajax to mustache templates on the front-end.

MasterCard Mobile Newsroom

I themed a mobile version of the MasterCard Newsroom optimized for iOS, Android, and BlackBerry devices using Foundation. This marked my first exposure to responsive design, media queries, and responsive images.

Fredericksburg Visitors Bureau

I build a custom WordPress plugin that collects and disseminates weather data from the National Weather Service API by cron and renders a local forecast for Fredericksburg, TX.

Personal Finance Application

I save all of my expenses to my budget site. It boasts an easy-to-use interface and can import all expense activity from CSVs that I download from my bank. Overage tabs appear when I’m over budget for a category or subcategory for a given month. Graphs and charts can be plotted for any (sub)category over any range of dates. The admin area provides tools for editing purchases.
