Coastal Plain Baseball League

https://coastalplain.com/
A baseball league WordPress site. I built roster, staff, teams, and game schedule plugins based on their specific requirements; a statistics app that includes a scoreboard, schedule, stats, standings, and leaders data; and various widgets based on JSON data from Pointstreak. I also created XML imports for roster data from an old website; created the archive system for clients' historical data via HTM files; and handed over the project for QA, minor bug fixes, and launch. Post-launch updates were also completed.

Rise Softball

https://risesoftball.com
A WordPress-based softball website. I built the custom softball player stats system. The system captures players' personal and stats data, and only authenticated coaches can view the private data. The system includes a custom data set for players, search and filter functionality, top-50 players, calculations to aid in rating players, and a registration system for coaches. I tracked bugs with WordPress debug logs, the Query Monitor plugin, and the client for specific logical calculations on the player data. I also assisted in launching the site, which is currently live.

Bellingham Bells

https://bellinghambells.com/
A WordPress-based baseball team website. I built their game schedule plugin and the stats widget that retrieves data through the Pointstreak API. I tested (across multiple browsers and back-end PHP issues), corrected bugs, made revisions, handed over the site to QA, and launched it.

International Cheer Union

https://cheerunion.ism5.dev/
A WordPress-based international cheerleading website. I custom-built the member custom post type required to manage their specific business clientele, set up the WordPress Modern Events Calendar plugin to capture events, exported their content from a legacy PHP-based CMS, and rebuilt the landing pages onto the new system. The site is currently in QA.

Royal Warehouse

A WordPress-based woodwork sales website. I set up WooCommerce and Formidable forms, tested (across multiple browsers and back-end PHP issues), corrected bugs, made revisions, and handed over the site for launch.

Long Island Ducks

https://liducks.com/
A WordPress-based baseball team website. The custom-built functionality includes game schedule, staff, roster, teams, YouTube videos, and sponsorship plugins. I exported all content and rebuilt pages from a legacy PHP CMS to the new website. All forms were set up using Formstack. I completed development, and the website is in QA.

Casino Project

An intranet website for a casino. I built the front end and additional back-end functionality, including a custom events post type and a private authentication system for all front-end content based on WordPress nonce/cookie-based security.

Key Activities
• Created and migrated all page content and user data from an old PHP system to the new WordPress system via XML imports.
• Closed off the REST API from public access, turned off search engine requests, and provided server admin with the Nginx server rule to prevent direct access to WordPress media uploads.
• Created custom user roles for back-end access as required by the client.
• Closed off the default subscriber role from any back-end access.
• Tested the roles and all imported users for any bugs.
• Handed off the project for QA and security scans by the client's security company.
