A lot of the work I have been doing recently is in partnership with the design firm Angled End Identities and their subsidiary Angled End Athletics. I'm available to work with other design firms on their more technically challenging gigs.

Partial Client List

Case Studies

New Martin Luther King Jr. Hospital

Took over maintenance and redesign coding of new NewMLK website which was originally implemented using custom PHP scripts, so only a PHP developer could make changes to the website.

Authentic World

Multiple (12+) Authentic World website (mostly WordPress- Joomla-based) had been hacked by scripts that automatically reapplied themselves. I secured the sites, deconstructed and researched the hacking code, developed a script to scan and unhack the sites, and identified and closed the likely entry points (insecure 3rd-party plugins).

Martin Electrical

Website planning and layout, turning a stock website template into a professional, search engine-optimized website for this electrician's business in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. (partnership with Margo Brockman)

Mobile BackBoard iPhone app for Orlando Magic

Developed an intranet iPhone application and back-end services to be used for secure, internal documents, private messaging, and event/itinerary sharing. (design by Angled End Athletics)

TamGroup

Information architecture and design implementation for this website built on HubSpot, using jQuery to overcome the design limitations of the platform.

Mind Over Bar

WordPress paid subscription website with video content. Using the S2 Member plugin plus some custom content protection work to enforce members-only access.

Surfbreak Rentals

Developed the high-end Java-based architecture (and acting as the effective CTO) for this new San Francisco startup, a vacation rentals directory focused on surfers and beach-goers (organized geographically around surf spots). 2010-2011

Style Correspondent

Overhauled this men's fashion WordPress blog, turning it from a casual blog into a full-feature content and news aggregator site.

Chef Marcus Samuelsson

Rearchitecting the website of the celebrity chef Marcus Samuelsson to be based on WordPress with customized (Flutter-based) content management. Added social networking, Flickr, and video components. The Google PageRank of the site jumped from 3 to 4 soon after the launch.

Bome Software

WordPress implementation with a CSS-rich layout and deep content hierarchies for a software company. Design by Angled End Identities.

Festa Professional Development

Simple WordPress implementation for a career coach. Design by Tribecca Designs.

Worldisround

A large-scale Web business that I developed from the ground up and run as acting CEO. Worldisround has more than 100,000 registered users, 6,000,000 photos, and 4,000,000 pageviews per month.

Albert G. Stoll | A Law Corporation

I integrated a WordPress blog into the website and have been supporting the firm with search engine marketing.

Cunningham Design

I integrated a WordPress blog into Scott Cunningham's website, elegantly adapting the fixed layout of the site to accomodate a lot more content in a page, while still matching the design and layout of the rest of the site.

Decamp Fine Jewelry

I migrated Decamp's rather run-down Yahoo Store to a high-end Magento e-Commerce platform.

Animist Notes

My latest startup business which offers software solutions for busy people, helping them focus and organize their lives. My first service is Animist Notes, a web application for easily keeping track of random bits of information.

McDonald & Kimball PLC

A therapist business in Fenton, MI. I performed a website overhaul where I:

• Replaced old ASP scripts with a custom Java-based system,
• performed an information architecture overhaul to improve usability and navigation (and to encourage newsletter subscriptions),
• set up a content management system (CMS) to allow direct changes to the website, and
• set up a blog-based system for publishing the monthly newsletter.

After the overhaul, the number of newsletter subscriptions increased by 275%.

Burning Man Style

This is a simple affiliate/resource website for burners, with information on gearing up and staying comfortable out on the Playa.

Untitled5

This is the website for my theatre troupe in San Francisco. It is the simplest of my websites.

EsperFonto

I partnered with Daniel Will-Harris to implement a custom font search engine for his EsperFonto sub-site. I integrated affiliate links into the search results so that users can purchase the fonts they find.
