Web Development
David has been working as an independent web developer and computer consultant since 2006, working with a broad range of technologies including HTML, CSS, Javascript, PHP, database integration (especially MySQL) and countless other ways of piecing data together on the Web. He offers custom WordPress themes & plugins as well. He can offer you creative solutions for your unique needs – no matter how small or big your project is.
(Please see Priscilla Borges’ Portfolio for samples of Web Design work.)
Please note that most of David’s projects happen behind a password protected website, so this is only a small sampling of his work that is publicly accessible.
Searchable Database and Dynamic Map
The 88 Project – Complete website redesign along with custom searchable database, also accessible via a geographic map interface and dynamic timeline.
Wordpress Integrated with Salesforce
Riot Artists – a leading talent agency for “world music” artists. David helped them integrate their new WordPress site with their existing Salesforce infrastructure, so that new tour dates show up in various places on their website as soon as they are entered into Salesforce.
Online Video for a Local TV Station
Community Access Television Services (CATS) – David build the infrastructure that makes archived CATS videos available on their Web site. CATS staff simply save raw video files to a particular folder on a local server, and with no additional human intervention the files are transcoded to Web-friendly formats and uploaded to the Web server. They appear (and are searchable) on the public Web interface as soon as they arrive. David also built administrative tools to allow CATS staff to edit meeting names, save agendas, choose thumbnail images, etc.
Making Data Publicly (and Easily) Accessible
Monroe County Index and Monroe County Timeline – two separate but related projects helping the public access the vast resources for the Monroe County Public Library’s Indiana Room.
Is the School Bus On Time This Morning?
MCCSC Bus Info site – a system allowing the transportation department of this school district (which serves roughly 11,000 students) to post updates on the bus delays and substitutions. News automatically appears on the website, and those interested can also sign up to receive text messages whenever there is a status change to their bus.
Custom WordPress Theme & Search Engine
United Pet Care – besides implementing a custom theme for this WordPress site, David built the infrastructure to allow
* employees of enrolled companies and the general public to sign up for their program, including selecting a participating veterinarian
* site administrators to maintain their database of participating employers and veterinarians
* allow the public to search the database of participating veterinarians by Zip code.
Adding Custom Features to WordPress
Ticketmaster Events – Ticketmaster hosts a few conferences each year, and they use this site to post information about those conferences. David works with them to make entering and maintaining data about speakers and sessions and efficient as possible.
Realizing a Specific Vision
Elizabeth Hershey – she already had a good-looking website, but needed to change the functionality of the photo gallery. David customized the gallery following his client’s requests.
Collecting Data and Crunching Numbers
ASAI: Learn More Indiana Online Survey – roughly 40,000 Indiana students take the Learn More Indiana Student Survey each year. David wrote and maintains the code that delivers the surveys to students, collects the results and (here) allows the public to query the results. This is only one aspect of the huge variety of material on the ASAI website, most of which is only accessible for authorized users. David has done the programming and database integration for all of it.
