I initially made this website from scratch and it has been a testing ground for everything I have learned over the years. It has been everywhere on the internet from geocities to tripod to a subdomain on ithought.org and now it finally stands alone. It used extensive CSS and JavaScript to get the job done, as well as incorporating php, mysql, and mod_rewrite for content creation, modification, access, and generation. But then I ran out of free time and it is now powered by Drupal.

fastermustache.org
My first Drupal site to get used by lots and lots of people. Currently there are over 60,000 comments by almost 1000 users. Some friends and I started a biking organization and with this website have been able to reach out to the biking community in Atlanta and build an image for ourselves. Modifications to Drupal include:
- random quotes submitted by users underneath the title
- Google map of locations from users profiles and submitted locations
- Recent stuff block to show threads with unread comments
- Social-Graph module for analyzing forum discussions to see who knows who
- More coming soon!

First ever website for Corndog-o-rama, an annual music event in Atlanta, GA. This is another site using Drupal but departs from my usual plan-and-simple square-and-lines type of designs.

I was the CTO of College Medium, LLC which means I spent several months doing all the infrastructure work and putting together the site. A new version of the site is up now that I didn't have much to do with but I learned a bit doing it and here are some of the cool things that were happening behind the scenes:
- CSS for all visuals. That includes the nifty semi-transparent dropdown menus. Tables are only used for tabular data, where they should be
- AJAX for loading state/city/school names and ids, as well for for dynamically loading contextual help and displaying it inline with the content when a user requests it
- Secure one way hashing of passwords for storage, and one way generation of keys that are used to verify email addresses, cell phone numbers, referals, etc
- mod_rewrite rules for pretty URLs and hiding things on the file system
- InnoDB tables in MySQL for strict enforcement of foreign keys including properly deleting entitys that refrence a deleted parent entity
- PHP running with suexec in mod_fastcgi for secure high performance PHP execution
- On site messaging for completely anonymous communication between users. Absolutley no information is shared about users, not even their member id number on the site (unless they choose to share it)
- Users can choose to receive text messages on their cell phone whenever they receive a new message on the site
- Database of (hopefully) every single college in the united states
- Logging of all system errors and hiding them from the user
- Dynamic menu and page generation relying on group permissions in access control lists
- Lots of other things I probably forgot!

alumni.tip.duke.edu
|
My first major web-design job. In my free time I was the webmaster for the Tip Alumni Association website where I published newsletters, re-designed the enter site from a template in Frontpage to something a bit more unique. For 2 years I managed this page, Creating dynamic content with PHP and keeping everything up to date. The current site is most of my design work converted to ASP with the color scheme and some images slightly modified by the new webmaster.
