Here's some select projects I've been involved in recently. Use the arrows or base icons to navigate through them.


CHD: ClinicDesign

Technologies Used

Drupal, jQuery, HTML, CSS

Why it's cool

This is a really handy little microsite I've been working on over at The Center For Health Design. It's a resource for community health centers and safety-net clinics undertaking a facility design project. They can search through the wealth of information to see what other clinics have done. It's integrated into the main CHD portal site, uses Drupal for it's CMS and has a lot of neat little interactive tidbits courtesy of jQuery magic.

Freecoupons.com

Technologies Used

Wordpress, jQuery, HTML, CSS

Why it's cool

This is a neat little coupon site came to me looking to redesign their existing site. I updated the existing Wordpres setup and added a slick new design (done by Konig Media) and added all kinds of new features. This site aggregates a lot of external feeds so we had to do some hardcore XML parsing and coversion. Probably my favorite part was implementing the Local Deals section whereby utilizing the Haversine formula (google it) I came up with a slick little script to show the user coupon deals in their locality.

Camelbak: Hydration 101

Technologies Used

jQuery, HTML, CSS

Why it's cool

Another fun piece of javascript eye-candy. This time I used jQuery to build an interactive quiz for the Camelbak website called "Hydration 101". Yet again, the design was done by the good folks over at Evolution Bureau.

TeakDigital

Technologies Used

Wordpress, PHP, MySQL, jQuery, HTML, CSS

Why it's cool

The extremely talented individuals over at TeakDigital were looking for someone to help roll out their new portfolio site. Wordpress was the way to go for this one. Design was done in-house by their horde of visual maestros but good ol' PuccinelliDigital helped turn it into reality with a little custom WP theming and just a dash of custom function work.

Camelbak: Water.org

Technologies Used

jQuery, HTML, CSS

Why it's cool

This was a fun piece of javascript eye-candy. Utilizing the jQuery library I built a dynamic UI that illustrates the impact of how little money it takes to provide fresh water to people in developing countries. Design was done by the good folks over at Evolution Bureau.

Google/YouTube

Technologies Used

jQuery, JSON, Flash

Why it's cool

This was a collaboration with a few other developers facilitated by the good people over at TeakDigital. My part was developing the front-end interface for the thumbnail listings below the main player. It was fed to me by a google AppEngine database then I handed off parameters to the flash player at the top via the AS3 ExternalInterface class. jQuery/JSON was used for dynamically feeding the player on the fly. There were a lot of moving parts, and was really satisfying to see it all come together in the end.

The Center For Health Design

Technologies Used

PHP, MySQL, Drupal, jQuery

Why it's cool

This is one of the largest collection of sites I've worked on to date. It's technically a web portal to all the various microsites that CHD runs. It's all built on Drupal 6 using a Single Sign On across all microsites. It has a very robust CMS, CRM, and E-Commerce component with a healthy smattering of jQuery trickery injected along the way.

Catherine Burns Gallery

Technologies Used

PHP, MySQL

Why it's cool

It's a custom content managed site. Adding and removing prints can be done in just a few clicks by logging into the secure administrative section.

Takkens Shoes

Technologies Used

PHP, MySQL, Magento, Script.aculo.us / Prototype

Why it's cool

This is a high powered e-commerce site built on top of the Magento platform. In addition to all the amazing features Magento provides, the site has a custom back end integration with the brick and mortar store's point of sale (POS) system. It's also got some slick custom javascript effects controlling the cart and other sections of the site.

Bennit Design Group

Technologies Used

PHP, MySQL, MooTools

Why it's cool

This is a completely customized yet simple content managed site. In addition to all text blocks being editable via the admin interface images may be uploaded cropped and placed all in one simple step via the web browser. No image editing is required!

ViewDo.com

Technologies Used

PHP, MySQL, jQuery, Flash Actionscript 3

Why it's cool

This is a user generated video site I built back in 2006. Users may upload videos sharing their know how on any number of given topics. Site is supported via advertising in the form of pre-rolls and traditional banners. Custom script written to convert uploaded files to the proper format for web presentation and add a thumbnail. Custom CMS on the admin section allows for moderating of video and page content.

Essure Landing Page

Technologies Used

MooTools, Flash (ActionScript 3)

Why it's cool

Graceful degredation was the name of the game on this project. The client wanted to be sure the page was accessible without flash and javascript enabled. If flash is off the slide panel will revert to a javascript based solution, if JS is off it will default to still images. All of this is done while still maintaining valid XHTML and CSS markup.

True Natural Foods

Technologies Used

ASP, MSSQL, Flash (ActionScript 2)

Why it's cool

Konigmedia approached me with a fresh new design but it needed to be applied to an aging ASP based content management system. With a little massaging I was able to maintain the client's existing system and bring the look up to today's standards.

EMC Insite

EMC Insite

Technologies Used

PHP, MySQL, Custom Apache Mods, XML, Flash (AS2)

Why it's cool

This tool was developed to provide better analytics data for EMC clients. Rather than using a traditional JavaScript based system like Google Analytics, Insite uses server logs to get a more accurate depiction of client web traffic. Insite then merges this data with off-line data such as visitor foot traffic, phone calls, and traditional media analytics. Data is displayed via XML/SWF Charts. Report pages are content managed and fully custimizeable depending on client data needs.


Trinity Park Kiosk- Community Map

Technologies Used

Flash (ActionScript 3), MySql

Why it's cool

This kiosk was built to allow the client to keep track of what home units are available for sale. Front end is built in Flash AS3 and the admin section is PHP connecting to a MySQL database. Flash communicates with the database via XML.

Link

Konig Media Client Upload

Technologies Used

PHP, MySQL, SWFUpload (Flash)

Why it's cool

This site provides a straightforward interface for clients to upload large files without needing an FTP client. Supports multiple uploads and email notification upon upload completion. Backend file management available through admin login allows for removing old files.

MichelMaeso.com

Technologies Used

PHP, MySQL, Wordpress

Why it's cool

Custom template designed for musician Michel Maeso. Built on the WordPress content management system.

Mueller Austin

Technologies Used

PHP, MySQL, Smarty Template System, Flash Actionscript 3

Why it's cool

This is a custom CMS that allows for the updating of all pages on the site. In addition the site features a customized interactive map built around Zoomify.
