SWVA Gaming

Non-profit organization blog

---

There were many iterations of this website while I performed as the site administrator. When we started back in 2011, this was a Drupal blog. Caleb Tote, a long-time colleague of mine, took the lead role for this organization and saw it through even after he moved out of the region. During the time of his leadership, I performed server configuration for SWVA Gaming on all iterations until the most recent one. I installed and configured Apache, MySQL, and PHP for the initial Drupal installation and subsequent Wordpress versions. In 2014 we decided to switch to SquareSpace for the ease of administration. In 2015, Mr. Tote handed the project off to BVU Optinet in Bristol, VA who maintains the SquareSpace hosted website.

In each iteration of the website, I heavily customized the CSS to fit the needs of the gaming website. I have gained a lot of knowledge about CSS thanks to this project.

Specialists On Call

A company Wordpress blog

---

I have had 2 roles for this website. First, I was a contractor hired to ensure the website was no longer marked as a phishing website by Google. After cleaning up the security holes in the website, I had the site listed as a clean website within a day - just before the website was presented to the board of directors. This lead to a full-time offer at Specialists on Call.

My second, continuing role has been to maintain and make adjustments to the Wordpress theme that was present when I started working as a Systems Administrator within the company. My first day of the job, the company hosting the website suspended our account and I was tasked with porting everything to a new host. We are now happily hosted by Bluehost :)

A Pretty Penne

A Tumblr Blog Theme

---

This was a personal project of mine. The main purpose of this was to keep track of and organize my own recipes in such a way that looked appealing to me. It was a simple 2 column layout that focused mainly on the pictures. When nice pictures for the recipes didn't exist, I took my own pictures.

Reclaim Your Rain

Bootstrap design pitch

---

This was a website I was using as a pitch to a content owner to replace the existing website at BuyARainBarrel.com. The company idea is great - help save water by having this company install a water barrel to collect runoff from your gutters. He liked the simple, clean design and the mobile-friendly view as well. However, he is a busy man and we never moved forward with the project.

DevMatch

A Ruby on Rails project

---

The idea of this website is simple: Users sign up and, depending on their need, find someone to either build a project, invest in, or hire them. I learned how to use rails as a framework and how to style a site using the bootstrap CSS library.

The site is live on the free version of Heroku

Rick Sanchez Quote Generator

Javascript project

---

This was a super simple project designed to demonstrate some jQuery and javascript. Simply load the page, see a picture of Rick Sanchez of Rick and Morty, and click the button to generate another quote of his randomly from an array. It wasn't a complex project, but it was something fun to work on.

Pomodoro Timer

Javascript project

---

The pomodoro timer project was completed for FreeCodeCamp as a solo project. Once I read about the setTimeout function, this project was a piece of cake. I also utilized jQuery selectors along with a simple bootstrap layout inspired by the cover theme. As I learn more about Javascript and jQuery, I will continue to update this project and my progress can be tracked through the Github repository.

Calculator

Javascript project

---

This project was to complete a Free Code Camp challenge for front-end design. The challenge was to build a calculator without looking at the source code of another javascript based calculator. I learned about the eval() function for this which allowed me to perform calculations based on the users input. I also took advantage of bootstrap and jQuery selectors.
