If you'd like to meet up at Ugly Mugs or Portland Brew, grab a cup of coffee, and write some code together, hit me up. I'm always happy to help!
Let me tell you a little bit about myself, my web development background, and Nashville.

Considering

If you need help building your website, you have a cool startup idea you need help with, or you just want some advice, please feel free to contact me. I'm considering both contract and full time work. For full-time work, I'd prefer remote or limited on-site requirements but I am open to discussing other arrangements for the right position.

Some Recent Work

Senior Lookbook

I helped an international fashion photographer, Adrian Morales, put together a unique concept site that provided high school students a new way to look at senior photos. It has e-commerce elements to purchase photos and uses the pwinty api to order prints.

Nashville Fashion Week

Worked with this client since 2010 to help them build a platform that would allow them to easily distribute information, embed their schedule on other websites by building a schedule widget, collecting photos in real time from Twitter, and allowing them to publish high quality photos from the nightly events in real time using an innovative and original custom publishing platform.

This is an EMR platform that I architected, designed, and developed for a client in Nashville. It has e-prescription integration, the ability for patients to securely share access to their records with physicians, a video conferencing platform for patients and physicians to interact, and a complete medical records management suite.

Nashville Fashion Week Model Search 2013

Our clients, MACS|AMAX and Nashville Fashion Week hired us to put together another model search that would culminate in an event where the finalists would walk the runway. We used our highly successful WallSee technology that uses social network shares as the voting mechanism and put together a content management system to allow them to manage sponsorship, model submissions, and other aspects of the competition.

Face of Fall Model Search

Our client, MACS|AMAX, a local model and talent agency in Nashville wanted to use our WallSee Viral Contest Software to put together a competition that would draw in fresh faces for their agency. This is the second such contest we built for them and the third is being built for Spring of 2013. Our software uses the Facebook Like button and the Twitter Tweet button as a voting mechanism. Using these social mechanisms for voting creates a viral effect and draws in tons of traffic. This contest drew over 100,000 hits in a 4 week period.

iStyled.me

This contest was a collaboration between us and Goodwill of Nashville. The challenge to high school students was to spend no more than $25 on an outfit from any Goodwill in the Nashville area and post it on this website. The goal after that was to get the most votes. Our software utilizes the Facebook Like button as a voting mechanism and is able to track it in real time. The winners of the contest walked in a fashion show.
