I began Game Trader World as a senior in college looking to practice my development skills and to make a website that would be useful to gamers. At its peak, there were over 2,000 users, but it was never profitable. I attempted to rebuild the site from scratch with a new business model and an object-orientated code framework (FestaTools). Unfortunately, I no longer had the free time in my personal life to finish the job and I suspended development to focus on other projects.

IonSense is a bio-tech start up that makes ionization sources for mass spectrometers. I was originally hired as a contractor to make their website, but I took a full time position as the head of software development because I believe that this company is going to be very successful. Our DART technology can analyze a sample in seconds instead of hours and can be used for quality control and screening of everyday products. Some of our customers include NASA, the FDA, the FBI, Northrop Grumman, Pfizer, Merck, Nestle, MIT, Harvard, and Georgia Tech.

This is a website for IonSense that contains experiments and publications related to our core technology, DART (Direct Analysis in Real Time). It was designed to be a community portal for customers to share their research using our product. At the moment, content is only being added by our staff, but the technology is in place to enable users to add their own content.

This site was originally hosted on an expensive, proprietary, web server with poor customer support. Using only the HTML output generated by their closed-source back-end, I rewrote the website in PHP with a custom content management system. The client was able to move to a more affordable web hosting company and can now manage everything on their own.

Like CovalX, this client was paying too much for their web hosting and had no way of managing content on their own. I kept the original look and feel of the website, but enabled the administrators to update the site without any coding knowledge.

This is one of the first professional websites that I've designed. For the past ten years it has helped my uncle find new guests for his rental property. This website predates FestaTools, but it does have a notable picture management system that is written in javascript and works without a database.
