Portfolio
My resume is available here.
Vulnero
Vulnero is a WordPress plugin that transforms WordPress into an object-oriented CMS by implementing a Zend Framework application on top of its API. It bootstraps Zend functionality on to the WordPress core to access its internal routing, authentication and database connection. Downloads and documentation can be found on the project’s website.
PHPStateMapper
PHPStateMapper is an open source PHP library I authored for drawing a U.S. map with states shaded by varying degrees of intensity based on relative data in a simple list (i.e.: MN: 5, WI: 12, MI: 23). Data is loaded from a CSV file or through PHP. It exports a simple PNG image in a configurable color.
Credit Card Freezer
CreditCardFreezer is a PHP class which automates the storage and retrieval of encrypted credit card information to and from a database.
CaringBridge
CaringBridge is a non-profit organization providing free websites that connect people experiencing a significant health challenge to family and friends, making each health journey easier. Each day, over a half-a-million people visit CaringBridge.
I joined CaringBridge in 2010 and work as a senior software engineer. My primarily responsibilities thus far have been designing and implementing database improvements, building a data warehouse, implementing a formal business intelligence solution, and developing an iPhone application.
CATS Applicant Tracking System
CATS is used by thousands of recruiters in hundreds of countries. It’s a software-as-a-service application that allows recruiters and HR departments to streamline their hiring process by automating the publishing and marketing of jobs to the web, parsing and indexing resumes for search and tracking candidates every step of the way from application to hire.
I worked at CATS from 2007 to 2010 as a lead developer and designed much of the behind-the-scenes infrastructure and user interface. CATS is written on the LAMP stack using PHP and MySQL. I continue to work on CATS with smaller improvements and development projects.
Conquis Corporate Website
http://www.conquiswerving – enselectie.nl
Conquis is a Dutch recruitment firm which specializes in finding top talent primarily in accounting and business management. Conquis was a client of CATS Web Hosting NL and the Robuust Groep BV for the design and layout of their website in WordPress, which I executed.
In addition to building the website as a WordPress 3.0 theme, I built numerous plugins which handle advanced functionality, such as modifying my official CATS JobSite plugin. Using WordPress as a CMS, the client can easily edit texts and drag and drop content on demand.
Worklife Recruitment
http://www.worklife – recruitment.nl
Worklife Recruitment is a Dutch recruiting firm that I lovingly refer to as the “purple monster”. As another client of CATS Web Hosting NL and Robuust Groep BV, I designed the page layout and built the WordPress theme to encapsulate it. I built several plugins and customized the ever-popular CATS JobSite plugin for extended behavior.
