After working in the corporate environment for 6 years and having done a little LLC work on the side, I decided to quit and start my own company. Rocket Science Innovations is a company specializing in everything I know how to do. Although a majority of the work is web related programming, Rocket Science also does motorcycle race tuning, electronic component design, fabrication and even aviation construction.

Previous Works: (coming soon)

1. 
   qwestsweepstakes.com

   This was a flash, script, mysql driven site for giveaways from quest. The site housed three sections for Broncos, Nuggets and Avalanche ticket giveaways. The system collected data from the user, compared it to existing email addresses in the system, validated the email addresses and ultimately made users eligible for a prize. It also gave the user the option to add more email addresses and contact info to greater their chances of a win.

   The front end was built in flash which submitted the data to php. All user interaction was handled within the flash. Backend was PHP/mysql and email address validation was done with a CPAN module when possible.

2. 
   Western Union

   Western Union was printing promotional pamphlets with non-linear promotion codes. These codes could be entered into a website for registration for a discount. I wrote three Java servlets for generating, collecting and validating the promotion codes. The product was developed on tomcat and later ported over to websphere. The front end was PHP and AJAX driven. The form/Javascript connected to one servlet which had a secure connection to a the second servlet with data access.

3. 
   directv.com

   Direct TV needed an employee/member shopping area. This site involved modifying off the shelf shopping cart software to meet their unique inventory needs. Used PHP, mysql, and Perl to interface with their inventory and merchant account.

4. 
   spotcheckwest.com

   Comcast SpotCheck West - This is a home-grown Perl application for spot proofing various types of media. There are several layers of hierarchical logins which have different privileges. Users may be able to rate or post marketing content. There is also different levels of administration per group and division. Posted content may be image, audio or video. When content is being rated various levels of browser plugin detection is used to embed the media appropriately. Once rated, the administrators and providers of the media is notified via email. All data is stored in a postgresql database (as binary when necessary), and periodically dumped to disk.

5. 
   kis-kiosk.com

   KIS Kiosk needed to install a built in recovery system in their kiosks. Their solution was to partition the disk with all the necessary recovery software on a separate drive. They needed a branded, password protected boot loader. I wrote one of these with Borland turbo assembler. The boot loader did not appear to be a boot loader, but if you knew the correct key sequence, you could boot and enter the recovery partition. Icons, fonts and logos were created with GIMP and exported as ASCII-C images. These were then defined in the assembly and painted pixel by pixel onto the screen for the boot loader.

6. Borealis Media

   I have had a work partnership with borealismedia since 1999. They have regularly utilized my services for their many clients.

7. 
   BradHendry.com

   Brad Hendry is an up-and-coming racer. He needed a website which he could easily maintain. I have programmed from the ground up a content management system to suit his needs and understanding. From his administration panel he can change everything from the number of pages to the images and location with AJAX and Flash WYSIWYG editors. I have also done all the design and flash work for his site.

8. 
   OpenRangeAccess.com

   I have worked with Openrange Access for the last two years on a remote oil/gas telemetry project. I have done everything from application design, to satellite and cellular communication, to embedded C programming on the EFM’s to turning a wrench on site in Vernal, UT.

   Have used RealFLO, Telepace, Ladder Logic, MCCM77, ROC Link, Nova Satellite tracking, StelComm, serial protocol analyzers, and other products working with ORA.

9. Golden Home Care

   Golden Home Care is currently under construction. Much like bradhendry.com, this site is going to have a lay-persons backend administration page.

10. 
    uchsc.edu/sop/

    CU Health Sciences School of Pharmacy I designed a navigation system that is built off the file system hierarchy. The file system is spidered, and any appropriate files are automatically included in the navigation and sitemap. This allows any user with write privileges on their Linux server to create and modify content and have it instantly added to the sites navigation. This solved a distributed content maintenance problem among the many users and faculty in the School of Pharmacy.

11. Hi-Technology Consulting

    This site is currently under construction. It will be a MSSQL online ticketing system. You will see it in production this March.

12. 
    Fastermotosports.com

    Faster is a local performance shop. Their web needs have been continually changing and I have been hired to handle their site needs since the company started in 2005.

Code Effects LLC was a joint effort of Josh Lopez and me. It was my first experience with owning/running a business. This company was something both of us did on the side and we treated it as a learning experience.

Code Effects offered a variety of web services including hosting. I managed a handful of commodity and server class Linux servers for hosting our clients sites on a T1. The following pages were at the very least hosted by codeffects at one point. The linked pages are still hosted with me.

Cost Analysis for Medical Linezolid vs PICC
This was a DHTML application which made cost comparisons of a new oral linezolid drug vs a conventional PICC catheter. Initially this application was powered by VB and ran inside of xcel. It evolved to a web application that was database driven and session based.

Goals and Objectives
Met with in-house team and clients and determined object guidelines and objectives. Gathered information about current systems and applications, audience needs, user patterns, process trends, ease of use, human interaction, user feedback, current technology, system specifications and available resources. Based on project objectives and deadlines and gathered information, provided recommendations on solution and estimate of time commitment. Reported to web team on resources needed to implement, modify, or reengineer from a programming solution to improve navigation to production applications and multi-state forms that are dynamically generated based on user input.

Programming:
Based on established project goals, developed custom programming solutions and production applications. Modified existing code to suit needs or adhere to a new technological standard for performance or protocol.

Server Management and Tools:
Worked with staff in Web Communications and ITS to develop and manage central applications and in-house tools to monitor and resolve campus data and server management issues. Such as the campus search engine, web stats and analysis tools, weather data gathering and reporting, and interactive campus map. Worked with UNIX-ops on joint server management issues such as encrypted authentication, single sign on, server and module upgrades, fail over, permissions and special installations.
