Website Development Showcase

As a Web Developer I worked on (and in some cases am still working on) the following...
	http://sbceo.org/~partners/ http://sbceo.org/~center/ Partners in Education and the Center for Community Education are nonprofit organizations administered by the Santa Barbara County Education Office. Their mission is to connect businesses and individuals with schools and the organizations that serve them in order to help improve public education. I developed online forms to allow educators to request different types of volunteers, guest speakers and mentors and to allow volunteers to sign up using their specific skills and interests. I developed a database to capture and process all information from the online forms and to allow dynamic data to be available on the website, such as volunteer achievement levels and current needs of educators. I also developed a secure administration area for easy access to database information and for easy update of the website. I created the CCE website from scratch patterned on the Partners' website but tailored to their specific needs. I continue to work for both of these organizations improving their websites to assist them in connecting corporate and community volunteers with educators and students.
	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.
	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. Since this is a secure site, I will demonstrate this system upon request.
	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 for tutors to submit and download lessons plans).
Create Your Own Wedding/Baby Registry	http://www.masisoft.com/babyboybannen/ As a service to family and friends, I have created wedding and baby registries in which the owners can list items they wish to receive, upload photos, input item descriptions, link to store websites and maps, etc. The registry therefore does not have to be limited to a specific store and is totally customizable by the bride and groom or expectant parents! These registries have been very popular! Since this example is a secure site, I will demonstrate this system upon request.

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 and the cataloging system used to populate the data on this website. I also served as the manager of the UCSB Davidson Library programming team for 5 years.
	Alexandria Digital Library - operational The Alexandria Digital Library (ADL) offers easy access to its collections of geographically referenced materials. The library, headquartered at the University of California at Santa Barbara, is hosted by the Davidson Library's Map & Imagery Lab (MIL). I populated this library with metadata and served as the manager of the UCSB Davidson Library programming team for 5 years.
	UCSB Libraries - SearchPath Implemented and customized an open source tutorial system to teach students how to use a university library. Original Searchpath material © 2006 by the Board of Trustees of Western Michigan University.
