As independent consultant...

 
http://www.educationnz.org.nz
Education New Zealand is a not-for-profit charitable trust that is governed by the New Zealand export education industry, and is committed to an ‘NZ Inc’ approach to the export of New Zealand’s education services offshore.
I set up the secure online student records and application management system allowing ENZ officials to upload, review and manage student applications and supporting documents. University admissions officers and the students themselves also have secure access to records based on level of authorization.
http://www.bookachat.com/
BookaChat is an online community of learners and tutors of the World’s languages. It allows people to cost effectively learn a language by using tools to: search for tutors that meets their needs, book a time to meet for conversational language practice at their own proficiency level, and participate in a lesson from anywhere at any time.
I set up the lesson repository system (tables, programs and web pages).
www.lotusbarn.com
Lotusbarn is a Norwegian company that sells lovingly handmade baby carriers so you can take your baby anywhere comfortably (barn means child in Norwegian).
I set up and customized this site using the Zen Cart shopping cart as a starting point. I also wrote the Netaxept credit card gateway program to connect to Norwegian banks. I manage, upgrade and customize the entire site on a continuing basis.
www.improve-english.com
Improve - English is a personalised self-testing system. It can analyse your written English and show your improvement along the way! They also offer, for a reasonable rate, an expert assessment of your written English. This can help prepare you for IELTS or TOEFL testing. I created the software (database, programming, statistical tools) that drives this entire site.

 

As Programmer/Manager at UCSB Davidson Library ...

UCSB Map & Imagery Lab
Located in the Davidson Library, the Map and Imagery Laboratory advances the interdisciplinary use of spatial data and provides technologies for integrating diverse information formats. MIL's collections of maps, aerial photography, satellite imagery and other spatial data exceed 5 million information objects. The digital data collection is growing at about one terabyte per year and is composed predominantly of physical sciences datasets, satellite imagery, and digital mapping data of the United States and other Earth locations. Thousands of scanned aerial photographs are also part of this collection. Air Photo Flights listed by County includes direct access to flight indexes.
I set up the MIL Air Photo search and browse tools on this website, the cataloging system used to populate the data on this website and am currently the manager of the ADL programming team.
NGDA - National Geospatial Digital Archive
