applications

Community network

CommonsCloud.cc is a community mutual aid app built with Ruby on Rails.

Online marketplace

I helped as a lead developer to build an online marketplace in Ruby on Rails to rent and lease interesting and high-end bikes by the hour, day, or week.

Mobile design

Web-based cross-platform apps like GroceryList, an application for roomates to share the task of shopping, built in Express.js and a light-weight React alternative 'Reef.js'.

Drupal development

I have experience with Drupal, like the MagnumConsortium pilot project demonstrating an online consortium relating collecting instutions around the world.

Filemaker databases

For the past several years I've built dozens of custom Filemaker databases for artists looking for low-cost, DIY archiving tools.

Wordpress

I've constructed headless Wordpress CMS for ease of back-end editing with custom-integrated phpList for low-cost newsletter distribution.

EAD finding aids

I can build an XML/EAD finding aid like this one I made for George Eastman Museum using XSLT and Flickr API to enhance traditional static museum research tools.

Squarespace

I have experience setting up quick plug-and-play squarespace sites with themed layouts and custom css.
