This project is still in the design phase. The image to the left is the visual design that I've created for the new site. If you click the link below, you can compare it to the old site. This site's functionality will be similar to the Ohio Consumers for Health Coverage website described below.

The Putney Student Travel (PST) website allows parents or students to apply to a PST program. The website collects all the necessary information and saves it into a custom database. I also built a back-end system that PST employees use to move each application through the approval process. The back-end system is fairly large and offers everything from program/trip management to Quick Books integration. After an application is approved, the applicants are required to fill out a few more forms. The applicants can then log back into the online application website where they can download and print the forms or submit the forms online.

The National Geographic Student Expeditions online application website allows parents or students to apply to for an expedition. The National Geographic Student Expeditions website looks very similar to the Putney Student Travel site because they both feed into the same back-end system and database, which is managed by PST. For more info on the system, see the details for Putney Student Travel.

The Interfaith Center for Peace website is built using a Content Management System (CMS). It is still a work in progress. As new organizational needs arise, I continue to develop additional functionality (PayPal donations are coming soon). I created the visual design and the HTML/CSS for the site layout.

I began working on this project after the design and HTML/CSS layout had already been completed by a third party. I installed and customized many modules for the Content Management System to provide various additional functionalities such as manageable forms, video player, and an mp3 player. I also built the photo slide show that is featured on the home page.

The Ohio Consumers for Health Coverage (OCHC) website is built using a Content Management System (CMS). I created the visual design and wrote the HTML and CSS for the layout. I also built numerous custom modules for the CMS. One of the modules uses web service APIs to integrate with a Microsoft SharePoint database and the ConstantContact email service.

The Industrial Ceramic Products website is built using a Content Management System. I wrote the HTML and CSS code for the site based on a visual design provided by a third party. I created custom data structures to store the different kinds of products that Industrial Ceramic Products sells.

From September 2006 to August 2007, I was employed by Great Auk Wireless (GAW) in Brattleboro, Vermont. GAW is a wireless high-speed Internet provider. Due to Vermont's typography and sparse population, there are many people who still rely on dial-up as their source for the Internet. GAW is helping to increase accessibility to high speed Internet to most of the hard to reach places in the state. While working for them, I set up their website to collect customer information. That information was then integrated into a third-party billing system leveraging a web service API. The GAW website also uses the GMail API to create email accounts for their customers during the sign-up process. While the design for the website was created by a third party, I built the HTML and CSS from that design. Since leaving Vermont more than a year ago, I continue to work with GAW as a consultant.

The DS Remind Me system interfaces with automotive dealership computer systems via an old fashioned modem connection. The system I built connects to the dealerships' systems, downloads customer and vehicle service data and saves it in the Remind Me database. The data is then used to send out service reminders to the dealerships' customers per a scheduling algorithm. The web interface allows an individual at the dealership to log in and edit the contents of the reminder letters. It even has a preview button so you can download a sample PDF file before finalizing the letter.

After I graduated from college in 2001, I went to work for Nationwide Financial as a software developer. I worked on numerous projects including implementing a Single Sign-On (SSO) service, building financial transaction functionality, and completely rebuilding the Sales and Service Center (pictured on the left). In January of 2004, I was promoted to Senior Developer. In this role, I was the technical leader of many projects. I helped engineer the presentation, security, and menu-system tiers of Nationwide Financial's enterprise framework. In October of 2004, I was promoted to Specialist of IT Application Development and was made the technical leader of the stability management team. The team was responsible for keeping all seven of Nationwide Financial's web systems running smoothly. I was responsible for the training and performance of the whole team. In October of 2005, I was promoted to Consultant of IT Applications where I performed the role of IT Architect for the Sales and Service Center. As the architect of the Sales and Service Center, I was ultimately responsible for all aspects of the system. I also collaborated with the other enterprise architects in order to share knowledge, techniques, standards, and best practices.

I earned a Bachelor of Science from Miami University in 2001. I majored in Systems Analysis and Computer Science and minored in Mechanical Engineering.
