FREELANCE PROJECTS

NSXapp • 2008 - Present
(http://www.notsoextreme.org)

Project Description:
This website was developed to assist with the Not So Extreme Makeover: Community Edition (NSX) in Albuquerque, New Mexico. WordPress was used for the public website, allowing the volunteers to create content for it using a menu-driven interface. NSXapp provides a few public pages, but is mostly a private system that allows planners to manage the volunteers, donations, and needs of families receiving these goods and services. It was written using a Model / View / Controller design pattern. It is designed to support more than one city, so that if other cities decide that they would like to do something similar, they will be able to utilize it as well.

Technologies Used:

• Programming Languages
  • HyperText Preprocessor (PHP)
  • Structured Query Language (SQL)
  • Extensible Markup Language (XML)
  • Extensible Stylesheet Language Translations (XSLT)
  • Extensible HyperText Markup Language (XHTML)
  • JavaScript
• System / Database Administration:
  • MySQL (WordPress)
  • PostgreSQL (NSXapp)
  • Apache 2 Web Server

Emerald Mountain Christian School Website • 2004 - Present
(www.emeraldmountainchristianschool.org)

Project Description:
This project originally involved an upgrade to a 10-year-old website for Emerald Mountain Christian School, a classical Christian school in Wetumpka, AL. This involved a site redesign and updating of the existing pages, and the addition of a school calendar and all information from the prospective student packet. This saved the school money on postage, and allowed prospective students and parents to evaluate the school much sooner. In mid-2007, it was redesigned to enhance speed and incorporate a Model / View / Controller structure.

Technologies Used:

• Programming Languages:
  • HyperText Preprocessor (PHP)
  • Structured Query Language (SQL)
  • Extensible Markup Language (XML)
  • Extensible Stylesheet Language Translations (XSLT)
  • Extensible HyperText Markup Language (XHTML)
  • JavaScript
• System / Database Administration:
  • MySQL
  • Apache 2 Web Server

The MCA/Warehouse Automation System (MWAS) • 2006 - 2007

Project Description:
This system was developed on my own to assist a military mail movement task to which I was assigned. It provided for more accurate accountability and tracking of worldwide mail deliveries in and out of combat zones, as well as quality control mechanisms and reports that allowed analysts to see an accurate picture of the mail flow through the facility. Special consideration was given to the limited bandwidth available in certain overseas locations, so the system was designed to deliver valuable content displayed in an easy-to-understand way, while requiring a small network footprint.

Technologies Used:

• Programming Languages:
  • HyperText Preprocessor (PHP)
  • Structured Query Langage (SQL)
  • Extensible HyperText Markup Language (XHTML)
• System/Database Administration:
  • MySQL
  • Apache
  • Microsoft Excel

Tournament and Membership Tracking System (TMTS) • 2001 - 2004

Project Description:
This project was utilized by the Montgomery Retired Military Golf Association (MRMGA), which they used to track their membership and run their annual 3-day golf tournament. This system computed handicaps, created teams, and tracked scores, computed skins, and recorded closest-to-the-pin accomplishments. This system was originally written using Access and ASP, but has been converted to MySQL/PHP to provide more robust multi-user capabilities. At some point in the future, this project will be revisited and placed on the web, where other organizations can utilize it, and golfers to register for tournaments online.

Technologies Used:

• Programming Languages:
  • HyperText Preprocessor (PHP)
  • Structured Query Language (SQL)
  • Visual Basic Scripting (VBScript)
  • Java Scripting (JavaScript)
  • HyperText Markup Lanaguage (HTML)

Technologies Used:

• Unisys Network Database Server (DMS)
• Unisys Relational Database Management Server (RDMS)
• OpenOffice Diagramming Tool
