The following are some examples of my more recent work.

This project gave me the chance to do some original programming, something I don't get to do often enough. Connecther is a non-profit organization that allows other non-profits to signup and promote their projects. Donors are encouraged to register and donate to projects that interest them. Another company created the design and I was provided HTML, CSS and graphics for most of the pages. I used Zend Framework to put it all together. I had used ZF before but this is by far the most complex site I've worked on with ZF. Payments are process by PayPal IPN.

This was a quick project that was fun to work on. I recommended using OpenCart. Working with the site's designer, my part was to customize the PHP used to display the category pages. It was modified to display all products in a given category, with options and allow any single product to be added to the cart. This change from the standard shopping cart setup eliminates individual product pages and streamlines the product selection process. This was my first project with OpenCart. It uses a light-weight MVC framework that is easy to customize.

System administration and maintenance programming for a custom motel management application. Linux kiosks in several locations in the US run a web application hosted on a dedicated Linux server. The kiosks are administered remotely. The web application was written for PHP4 and MySQL4 and has been converted to PHP5 and MySQL5.

System Administration and Maintenance programming (PHP, MySQL) for this and other related sites. SCC have a complex web-based application that is used to manage the work they do for their clients. They use multiple dedicated servers. My work for them has included migrating from one host to another and splitting email services to a separate server.

For Member's only. There are four levels of users. The site uses PHP, MySQL, Smarty templates and DB_DataObject. Site admins can manage member accounts, upload new data and publish documents for the members..

This is a custom PHP site built from scratch with the Zend Framework. Some pages require a short registration form be completed in order to gain entry. There is a separate admin area for content management.

E-commerce site offering furniture and other household items. The site runs on Magento and is actually the first of many sites that will be hosted by a single installation of Magento. The site is on a dedicated server. I setup the server, upgraded the OS, installed Apache, PHP and MySQL. I installed Magento and configured it for multiple sites.
