Led the development of STandards Aptitude Testing an application designed to integrate multiple university systems and deliver roll-up views for students, faculty, and accreditation groups.

Stephanie Hynes Photography
Designed and developed a Flash-based site to quickly and dynamically display
the photographer's portfolio in a way that engages with the end user. I worked
with the photographer to select photo examples that best highlighted her artistic vision in the web medium. The end result is a simple and unembellished site to clearly communicate the client's business information while allowing her work to speak for itself. |

University of St. Thomas 125th Anniversary
Headed the development of this Flash-based site which utilizes a unique use of ActionScript 3, algebraic calculations, and XML allowing for the display of this information in a beautiful, streamlined, and engaging manner. While working closely with the graphic designer and motion graphics designer, I implemented AS3's bitmap class to retain photo quality, when images are displayed in various sizes, as well as the filter classes for blurring and color changes. By using calculations based on amount of data loaded buttons are activated when a particular decade's information is ready. |

University of St. Thomas Smart 404
404 errors are quite frustrating and never seem to indicate the real problem. In response, I spearheaded the implementation of a "smart" 404 page. By analyzing the entered URL, and using a custom built soundex algorithm, the nearest matches are displayed to help guide the user to a speedy solution delivering quality information rather than a standard 404 error message. I worked closely with a user interface designer to decide on placement and structure of the displayed information.
