Projects
Banners
Working for Cole & Weber and it's subsidiary, Hammerquist, I created lightweight banners for Hawaiian airlines, The olympic Partnership and the Washington State Lottery. Using "vanilla" JavaScript and Sprites, I was able to keep total file size under 150kb for fast loading and cross-browser compatibility. As the sole technical person, I was able to readily explain the challanges that arose with the team.

| Blue Cloud Hosting |
There is no one place on the internet that features a plurality of expedition vehicles for sale. Overland It aggrigates expedition vehicles for sale from a variety of sites and hosts them on a mongoDB database using Node.js and Express.js as the app backend. The origional concept was to data scrape expedition vehicles from a few sources and aggrigate them on the site. However, the problem was a bit too big for the solution. There were no sites with more than two expedition vehicles on them so the data was manually added to the database.

PrepperPrepper
This moble responsive web app was created to help people be better prepared for emergencies. Users input where they live and are given a snyopsis of earthquake, civil unrest and flood danger for that area. They are given reccomendations for food, water and gun storage and can log in and get their prep score by inputing the number of meals, gallons of water, and guns they have. I'd like to improve the load time and number of cities available to select from.
