Employment
Experience
- IndieMade (Development)http://www.indiemade.com
I co-founded IndieMade and am responsible for its technology, based on Drupal in PHP and running on Apache and MySQL. Customers pay monthly for a site of their own. I built the corporate website (http://www.indiemade.com) and the code that runs the sites themselves (see http://www.indiemade.com/examples for links to some of them).
- RepubHub (Development)
A search engine based on Solr and running in Java on Apache and Tomcat, RepubHub lets site owners search for content they can easily license, and then embed on their own site legally.
- Red Cap Cards (Development)http://www.redcapcards.com/
A representative sample of one of the eCommerce sites I've built, this one in Drupal with PHP, Apache, and MySQL.
