8tracks is a social playlist sharing site, where users can share and listen to mixes of their favorite music. Often compared to the original Muxtape, 8tracks is actually 100% legal, broadcasting under an internet radio license instead of the onerous on-demand type licensing used by competitors. It also links up with users' favorite web 2.0 services, like Twitter, Tumblr, and Last.fm. With a network of over 20,000 DJs and hundreds of thousands of listeners, 8tracks is one of the few digital music sites positioned to succeed in the volatile music industry. I do principal frontend development along with an excellent team. Ruby on Rails/MySQL.

This organization sprang into existence literally overnight when local officials announced that the Lost Horse Creek area of Montana, a popular climbing location, would be mined for road building materials. The group needed a way to communicate and publicize their efforts to stop the operation. I volunteered and created the site, which features a blog powered by Radiant and a custom plug-in for the mailing list, in a week's time. Ruby on Rails/MySQL.

USC's Center for Academic support helps students for whom it is essential (such as athletes and students on scholarship) to keep their GPA on track. I migrated their ancient database, used to store grading data for thousands of students as reported by the faculty, from MS Access to MSSQL, updated the web interface's aging features, and streamlined their data updates, which previously took nearly a day of work each semester, and now run at the click of a button. (ASP/MSSQL)

Currently I specialize in custom application design and development for the web, using PHP, Ruby on Rails, ASP, and MySQL, working onsite with local clients as well as remotely with groups across the country. My work has principally included programming, interface design, and information architecture. I have also performed emergency support, server administration, and database maintenance.

I wrote and maintained custom software for departments in Student Affairs, principally in ASP and ASP.NET. These included secure applications for confidential data such as student grades and police reviews, as well as high-traffic websites like the USC's student elections system. I also supported and upgraded legacy applications from MS Access to ASP/SQL and administered the MSSQL database servers.

I built and updated websites for clients such as online retailers, nonprofit organizations, and local businesses. This included managing ecommerce systems, MSSQL database administration, and developing proprietary applications, including content management, message board and email software. I worked exclusively in ASP/vbScript.
