Personal Pursuits

In my professional work I have spent most of my time working with the .NET platform, C#, and SQL Server. However in my spare time I have gravitated towards different platforms. I have completed several projects using React, PHP, MySql, and Gatsby to name a few.

Gently Hugged

I have been volunteering with Gently Hugged for over 10 years. I created the first version of their web site using PHP. Over the years I have helped to maintain it, doing small content updates and minor improvements. I have recently released version 2 of the web site using Gatsby + Netlify. I have incorporated Decap CMS to enable the client to easily make content changes without having to go through a developer.

Shop Wedgwood

In collaboration with my neighborhood community council, I created a web site to highlight local businesses in my neighborhood. This project uses Gatsby and local markdown files for the data layer. This site includes Google maps integration and business search.

Materials Management Prototype

I was approached to build a proof of concept for a materials management project for a large construction company building out solar farms. Inventory data captured in the field using handheld devices was imported into a database. This data was then made available via a web portal for tracking and analysis. I used a MySql database to store the data which was imported via a php script monitoring an upload folder for files. I built a REST API in PHP which powered a front-end created with React.

Wedgwood Community Council

I have volunteered with my neighborhood community council since 2016. In my capacity as board member I have served as council treasurer for my entire term. I have also helped to organize several community events, including managing a community picnic.
