Eireann Machinery Inc.

eirmachinery.comEirMachinery.com is a new website I just completed for Eireann Machinery Inc., the Western Region dealer for McCloskey International Inc. EirMachinery.com was built on top of Drupal and includes custom node types, custom themes and templates, and a bunch of JQuery. EirMachinery.com was developed in record time (less than 2 weeks) which is a great credit to using Drupal as a web-development platform.

Anark.com

anark.comOne of the first things I did after I started working with the enterprise division at Anark was to begin a complete redesign of anark.com. The previous website was a complete nightmare to maintain and offered zero flexibility for deploying content or rearranging navigation, etc.

The company that developed the site built a custom CMS for this application. After scoping the amount of work it would take to refactor various sections of the site we decided to scrap the entire thing and pursue a hand-coded approach.

PBX In A Flash Scripts

pbxinaflash-scripts.comI just finished a complete redesign of PBX In A Flash Scripts. The site was built with Drupal which has become my favorite web development platform. In total I've developed 5 commercial sites using Drupal. Most of these sites include a bunch of customizations I developed.

PBX In A Flash Scripts is a site where PBX In A Flash users can download customizations and updates for their favorite PBX system. PBX In A Flash is great because of the people behind it. Thanks to Ward, Tom, and Joe for releasing (free!) such a powerful and truly open platform!

Powered By Danger

poweredbydanger.comKadium has been hired to perform a complete redesign of HipTop.com which is a key destination for T-Mobile's Sidekick users. Upon hearing about this project I jumped at the opportunity for this large and challenging project. A critical business requirement is to optimize the new website for use on the Sidekick device which features full web-browsing capabilities...and a 240px wide screen.

Early on we reviewed a number of content management solutions and decided to use Drupal which is a mature and well designed open source project. We're in the middle of development now--stay tuned!

United States Air Force ROTC: Detachment Locator

det-locatorFor the past month I worked on a project for the US Air Force (AFROTC) that went live on June 30 2006. The Detachment Locator is a Yahoo! Maps based "mashup" that plots the locations of all AFROTC detachments in the US. This application combines a database of nearly 1200 universities with the Yahoo! mapping service and has a number of useful features:

  • Optimized geocoding and marker plotting
  • Directions to and from any Host, Crosstown, Airport, or user-defined marker
  • Auto scrolling and centering marker algorithm
  • Filters that will show or hide universities in real time
  • Integrated database of major airports
  • Discreet zoom levels
  • Integrated Help

This was a great project to work on and the USAF said it "exceeded all expectations."

Sony Music Publishing: SonyATV.com

sonyatv.comUpdate: SonyATV.com is an award winning website!

More good news at Kadium: I just landed a huge and potentially very lucrative project redesigning sonyatv.com and "tens" of other sonyatv.com regional websites. This project will involve interfacing with a new Sony content delivery system that will allow movie producers, advertising executives, and other professionals to license and download thousands of music tracks in the Sony Music Library.

I'm very excited to be working on two very high-profile projects at Kadium!
