About

I work with PHP 5, MySQL, JavaScript, AJAX, CSS and XHMTL. The blog is to share some of my ideas on development with current and potential clients and colleagues.

Database driven websites and web applications:

  • Discover with Marta – E-commerce site based on Magento launched early in 2012.  Required a lot of work with the Magento templating system and customizing a Magento subscription extension that was not up to the client’s needs.
  • Cuzie – A well funded startup web application created in Symfony 1.4 and it’s admin generator.  I did most of the programming for the original private beta in late 2011.
  • Inhabitat – A well known design blog that I have done a lot of maintenance and upgrade work for starting in the summer of 2010 and continuing until the present.  This is a very high traffic WordPress MU installation with a lot of scalability issues that we are constantly addressing.
  • Ticket-Timer – My own idea: a free, hosted web application that I built from scratch in 2009 that lets freelancers keep track of their billable time and create invoices for clients.  Uses a lot of javascript and Ajax to control the project timers.
  • Live Music Productions – Comprehensive event scheduling, contact management, budgeting and payments system for NYC’s premier live music events service (link).  I worked closely with the client to create this application from scratch in 2007.  Driven by many dynamic forms and reports with extensive use of Javascript and AJAX.  They are using this constantly every day as the core of their business management with new features added on a regular basis to make their work even easier. (This is a private system with sensitive information.  I can demonstrate in person and you can read more about it here.)  A customized version of this system which I also maintain is now being used now E Three Productions .
  • NYU School of Acting Graduate Alumni Association – Custom Symfony social networking site with WordPress and BbPress integrated for blogs and forums functionality. Worked in conjunction with graphic designer/ front end coder: ODM to complete this project in early 2008.  Currently the community is very active.
  • UrbanDaddy.com – A daily newsletter with a Symfony backend.  In 2008 and 2009 I did a lot of work on their reporting system where they view statistics for the traffic generated by their email blasts and ad campaigns.

Custom WordPress sites:

I built these sites as a sub-contractor for Sweden Unlimited.  They provided the design and HTML and I did all the custom programming required to create highly customized sites based on the basic WordPress platform.  I created and customized many WordPress plugins to make these sites stand out from mere common WordPress blogs.

I have worked on many other projects not listed here, these ones just highlight my best achievements and/or most notable clients.
