This section highlights only a few of the projects I have been involved in since 2013 or so.
Much of the work I do is coding and will never be seen by the public. In fact, I rarely build anything web related anymore. My current title is systems programmer and I build custom code as needed to assist in supply chain management.
From 2015 - 2017 I worked for a small design company in Riverside called Geographics. Much of the work was back-end customizing modules, plugins or vanilla PHP or Javascript. I rarely design websites however. I can ... I designed this one.
Before that I built and modified various applications pooling and aggregating data. I worked with a real-estate company on an MLS plugin for Wordpress for six months or so.
From 2010-2013 I worked on a custom CRM for a marketing firm named Spotya! The CRM allowed customers to view analytics and manage multiple websites as well as any custom tools they needed from a central location.
Working for smaller firms throughout my career I have had to where many hats. This means I have a broad list of skills. My passion is in design but, I am told that my strength is more on the coding side.
The MSRC provides funding for clean fuel alternatives primarily in California.
The website required a number of customizations outside of existing modules. I also needed to import 10 years of legacy data and documents.
The Inlandia Institute is a lively center of literary activity serving the 29,000 sq. mile inland Southern California Region. It grew out of the highly acclaimed anthology Inlandia: A Literary Journey through California’s Inland Empire, published by Heyday Books in 2006 with the active participation of the Riverside Public Library.
This is actually an upgrade to the artists existing website. His previous website was built in Flash and was, well,... out of date. It had no search engine placement whatsoever and was only 640 x 480 pixels. Still it was, for its time, a pretty cool little site. I offered to simply resize the flash container to full up an entire browser page but, he opted for a complete rebuild. The layout is entirely his vision with my input, specifically on the image slider.
Ever so often I am tasked with building, maintaining or upgrading websites for non-profits. These organizations are of course limited in their funding and so the task is often done in increments over several months. In this case the website http://alternativestodv.org/, a women's health organization and shelter located in Riverside California had a website that really needed some work. It is a Wordpress website that had fallen into disrepair.
This website was designed by Nicole Beale. I built the markup, the SASS and wrote various modules and modified the Core PHP as was necessary. The CMS was Symfony Apostrophe 1.5. It was sort of an experiment in a way. The previous website was built in Symfony Apostrophe 1.5 and we didn't want to have to migrate the content and re-teach the employees on a whole new CMS. The problem was that Apostrophe was never designed for mobile websites.
I was asked to build a program that could use an API that was built into a VOIP phone system that contained a server. The phone allowed its call records to be polled. This allowed managers to observe the call logs of their call center employees.
I have performed several tasks for RCTC over the last two years updating and creating content, not only for their main website, but for the various construction and project proposal websites as well. This article only highlights a few.
NOTE: Geographics company did not create the latest version of the RCTC main website. They still do a great deal of work for them, but for the website, they decided to go another way.
