Freelance Work

• Ten Thousand Villages’ Public Relations Site – Design by Jeff Green: This was a WordPress blog with an application to receive and manage press requests written in CakePHP. Jeff sent me the design in raw HTML and I converted it to a WordPress template.
• Good Lancaster – This is an ongoing project to create a directory and calendar of events for Lancaster and the surrounding areas under a partnership with Good Productions. It was initially written in a custom PHP framework. but I ported it to CakePHP.
• Block Island Guide – I implemented the Good Lancaster Framework for the resort town of Block Island, Rhode Island. I added advertisements, commenting and integration with weather services for forecasts and surf conditions.

• Dolfin Swimwear Dealer Ordering System (private) – Written in CakePHP, this allows dealers to place orders with Dolfin. This includes the ability to save orders and addresses, as well as a tracking system that lets dealers know which administrator updated their order, as well as email notifications for both administrators and dealers. It integrates with their AIX backend to update inventory levels.
• Dormnoise (defunct) – This is a calendaring application aimed at college students. I worked on this project to add a rewards center, fix bugs and got it launched with considerable effort. It’s written in PHP, but with a large helping of JQuery to make it more dynamic. We’re currently in the process of determining specs in preparation for a complete rewrite that will make it more efficient.
• PWPA – Helped to port their existing site to WordPress as well as train them in how to use it. Worked with a designer to provide an updated look and integrate it with social media
