HipChat

I wrote a simple object-oriented solution whereby special callout classes (ie: mentions, emoticons, links, future features) directly inherited from an abstract class that provided business logic functionality common to all callouts. The actual parsing code was broken up into smaller modules. By coding these classes to an interface, I was able to decouple the business logic from the parsing code. I employed the strategy pattern to meld everything together. As such, this approach is easily extendable to new functionality.

Halt Medical

The Acessa site offered many challenges during development. This W2OPress implementation features WP admin page stacking to break content into smaller, more easily digestible parts across endlessly scrolling pages. The client is given total control of the full-width banner widgets interspersed between sections. Bootstrapped from this functionality, I built automatically generated, in-page navigation.

MasterCard Biz Redesign

I suppose due to all the awards given to the design of the MasterCard Engagement Bureau, MasterCard Biz decided a redesign mixing old with new was in order. All that was left to do was to bring the old site into the W2OPress fold.

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.

W2OPress

W2OPress standardizes project development and facilitates more accurate estimates and faster turnaround. We have a library of in-house and vetted third-party plugin submodules that are versioned and available to use across implementations. Both client and product work are incorporated into our two-week sprints. This is the most agile-friendly approach I’ve heard of actually employed within an agency setting. From a developer’s standpoint, it is a marked improvement.

MasterCard Arabic

Following the responsive redesign of the MasterCard Newsroom that included modularizing the SCSS style files, it was a breeze to simply append a right-to-left module to mirror the design for the new Arabic region.

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.

Purdue Pharma

Assigned the impossible task of replicating an existing site that lacked a defined scope, I acted as lead to eight other developers. I built several object-oriented WordPress plugins that handled registered users, resources, the shopping cart, item orders, and integration with the client’s SAP fulfillment system.

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.

MasterCard Newsroom

MasterCard required ongoing maintenance to the existing Newsroom while developing their new project: The Engagement Bureau. I acted as release manager, overseeing several other developers all the while debugging and performing maintenance on other projects.
