Here are just a few samples of my work. Many of the projects I've worked on were developed as proprietary/office systems and, as a result, I am unable to feature here.
Die But Once
Die But Once sells high-end custom action figures, mostly in the professional wrestling genre. We created a theme with a responsive layout that looks great on the widest variety of browsers/devices. It allows the strong calls to action and product photos to take center stage.

Built as a WordPress site, the owners are in complete control of the content and updates are made very easily and securely.

Salvia Zone
Salvia Zone is a completely organic herbal meditation supplement, developed by Nap & Associates.

This project started with a site re-design and I'm now responsible for all aspects of the website. There's always a new feature on the horizon, making my time with this company extremely enjoyable.

Dream Boost
Dream Boost is an all-natural dietary supplement developed as a sleep and dream enhancer, by the Upstate Dream Institute.

I handle all facets of DreamBoost.com, including maintenance and enhancement of its front-end and administrative interfaces. I also redesigned the site's look-and-feel to be more representative of the product and introduced new features (dynamic store locator, retailer login).

Envisage Information Systems, LLC.
I spent 3 great years at Envisage (and I still consult for them on occasion), writing financial access software using XML, XSL/XSLT, Java/J2EE, MySQL and DHTML. I was one of the lead developers on their flagship product, Enveritus.

I also was the lead on another proprietary web application using VBScript, MS Visual Basic, ASP, and MS SQL Server. Additionally, this was my first exposure to writing design proposals and project documentation.

Comics For Collectors
Comics For Collectors received a complete website makeover in a matter of weeks. What was previously a series of static, hard-to-maintain pages was transformed into a dynamic, easily maintained site.

A password-protected content management interface makes it easy for the CFC staff to make inventory updates faster and easier than ever before. All menus and product categories are also customizable.

Clingen Quest Restoration
Clingen Quest Restoration has served numerous clients in the Northeast including furniture dealers, private antique collectors, and museums, restoring fine antiques to their original beauty while conserving the integrity of the pieces.

With such beautiful source material, I wanted to create a logo and theme that would complement the pieces on display in this brochure site. I think we hit the right note and keeping the site simple allows the portfolio works to take center-stage.

Spirited Crafts
Spirited Crafts features beautiful, handbound journals. Owner Ed Hazzard is able to maintain his entire site easily and quickly via a custom administration suite created for him.

The flexible/customizable shopping cart featured in this site was written in Perl from scratch.

The Official Site Of Chad Collyer
Chad Collyer is one of the most successful independent professional wrestlers today. He has wrestled the world over and is frequently employed by the biggest promotions in the United States and Japan.

His official website is another example of a site created to be easily maintained by someone with no programming knowledge whatsoever. As such, Chad is able to update his site with the latest news, even when on the road.

Human Services Coalition
The Human Services Coalition of Tompkins County is a private non-profit organization located in Ithaca, NY. Their website features lots of useful information regarding human service programs.

My main responsibilities there dealt with formatting and uploading documents to their existing site. I worked closely with the Health Planning Council to help them get their reports published online. I also trained the staff on use of an existing administrative website, as well as basic HTML.
