Portfolio and Other Stuff

• California Community Colleges (CCC) NOVA web app, 2019 - I helped build NOVA, a system for tracking project applications, funding, and expenditure reporting across California's community college system. Team size ranged from one (just me) up to 15 people. I served as engineering lead for most of my time on the team, heavily involved in feature planning and implementation from the engineering side, both front and back end, with heavy emphasis on data schema, creating reusable components and workflows, and browser testing. This project involved multiple data migrations with frequent schema changes, as the app overtook multiple other systems and funding sources. The system is based on Angular and Node.js Express frameworks. Product features are demonstrated in this training video .
• School Status Browser for Learning Management System (LMS), 2016 - I built custom plugins for New Tech Network's LMS, which provide deep-dive views into a school's courses, students, and grades. This project was a solo effort. The system is based on AngularJS for the front end, and a commercial LMS service as the backend. Product features are demonstrated in this training video .
• Student Report Cards for Learning Management System (LMS), 2016 - I built a custom report card generator for New Tech Network's LMS with one other team member. This project required extensive integration with a commercial LMS API (Agilix Buzz) to gather data and a custom PHP service to collate data and generate PDFs. Product features are demonstrated in this training video .
• jTab Guitar Tab Shortcode, 2012 - I built this WordPress.org plug-in that integrates an open-source guitar notation library into a WordPress blog, allowing users to easily notate guitar chords and tabs with shortcodes. This plugin is now defunct, but its skeleton can be found here.
• Simple YouTube Shortcode, 2011 - I released this WordPress.org plug-in that translates shortcode strings into an embedded frame for YouTube player, because I needed it to develop a client's YouTube-heavy website. This plugin is now defunct, but was popular in its day. The skeleton can be found here.
