A high-level scripting language
Several of the data sources that Intel wanted to use to populate their Analytics Hub database did not have APIs available. For that reason, Kenshoo and Sprinklr data was to be provided by individual files. While Intel could have simply FTP’d those files directly onto the server itself, the web portal I programmed provided better management of this process and displayed the state of all files in real time.
I created an interactive map that renders fertility statistics for all US states. I chose the jVectorMap library because it was (and may still be) one of the only tools that supports scalable vector graphics in IE6. I packaged the project using JSON as acting database to ensure its portability as a standalone website that could easily be dropped into any environment.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Auxogyn was in need of a site to show off it’s Early Embryo Viability Assessment (EEVA) test. I created a site that facilitated complete and intuitive client control over all content. They were able to add, delete, and modify every bit of it on their own, even down to the featured text within the carousel. By employing Gravity Forms, they were able to build and edit their own forms. I designed a widget to allow total control over sidebar images on a per-page basis. I created several custom post types to help them organize and feature news, events, and FAQs.
The SunnyD Book Spree is a program that offers books to classrooms in exchange for UPC labels. I created a stand-alone site in time for the 2012 fall semester that was consistent with the look and feel of the main flash-driven site they had at the time.
The Valero Texas Open is one of the oldest tournaments on the PGA Tour. Following the 2012 tournament, I created an image gallery to show off pictures from the tour and associated events. The easiest way for the client to upload and manage their media was to employ a separate Flickr account. There, they organized and tagged their images as they saw fit. All media was later pulled into the site via cron job requests to the Flickr API. Once published, the imagery would automatically be grouped into the proper album.
The site I designed for my wedding featured a simple photo gallery and a Google maps interface that gave quick driving directions between draggable start and end points. All wedding locations were overlaid. Users could easily zoom to these locations by touching upon the icons in the top legend.
