ASCEND MEDIA

My primary goal at Ascend Media was to maintain and expand medcme.org (company/site no longer active). Based on the Joomla CMS I was able to create, QA, and post new events as the arrived. There was also an add-on that allowed for even regestration and report that I managed and sent reports based on the date on a regular basis.

When I was not supporting medcme.org I used my skills to supplement other initiatives of the team including: HTML newsletters, design, development, web analytics, and several other small projects.

TWO WEST

I wore many hats at Two West as the Senior Interactive Specialist. I was a "Jack of all Trades", to use the vernacular of the time. The traditional roles of design, production, and architecture were always present, but I filled many other roles including: reporting & running web stats, blogging, new technology research, content management systems (Joomla), administration of dedicated web servers, client contact, legacy code support, internal projects, and project management (the details).

RQ2

I was part of a small development team with RQ2. We designed and programmed everything the company used; from call center to shipping. Everything was built in-house, by us. Very fast-paced and fun. Although hired as a designer I was quickly tasked with programming as well. Great experience for programming. We had free range on all the servers and databases. Good times. I helped them move into the modern internet age with modern markup of all the work we did. Smaller, faster, leaner, better.

Buchanan County Mental Health

Buchanan County Mental Health needed a way to search for mental health providers for their patients. They contact RQ2 to put a website together. I did everything on this site except design it. I took care of the databases, programming, and building. It also has a nice administration section for BCMH workers to add new information. The menu was a nice touch with a CSS slide out affect. The whole site is very quick they were very happy with it.

Delta Sigma Pi

Here's a little something I threw together for my ol' college fraternity Delta Sigma Pi. They get a little server space to put what they need up there. It was designed mostly as an information and recruiting tool. It's simple and easy to update for the non-technical folks that are taking care of it now.
