I had designed and built the marketing site for Business Enterprise Institute in order to attract clients and increase revenue.

This site uses Drupal CMS to manage the thousands of blog posts the site offers to it's users.

This project was developed in support of the Tiny Feet Toolkit project for my Web Development II class at Western Colorado University. It was created with PHP using a microframework by one of my favorite web educators, Brad Traversy.  The idea was to create a forum where users of the Tiny Feet Toolkit could submit data and crowdsource findings to support their community in developing a climate action plan.

This project was born out of a passion for improving the way people interact with social media.  The idea of the project is to create a social media network with the same look and feel as instagram, but include functionality inspired by research in social brain theory and Dunbar's number.  The result is is a fully functional and scale-able web application which works as a social networking tool that allows users to share images, comment and like on each-others posts, 1-1 chat message, and group their connections into bins with a maximum group size as defined by those outlined in Social Brain Theory.  For example, a user is able to have up to 150 friends (Dunbar's Number), that number including the groups "loved ones", "family", and "close connections" which themselves have their own number of maximum allowed users in the group.  This limitation is actually freeing, because using this platform requires the user to think about the level of intimacy they have with each user and allows private and secure broadcasting of posts to their connections with the proper level of intimacy.

This application uses the most current technologies to offer a superb experience to its users.  There is a CI/CD pipeline that allows changes to be deployed instantly, and end-to-end testing to be performed automatically as a step in the pipeline.

Please feel free to try the app out by making an account.  Know that you can delete your account and all associated data at any time.

Social Brain Theory + Social networking tools

Social Brain Network Web App

'Social Brain Contacts' is a React Native Expo app that utilizes research in social brain theory to provide tools to users to group their phone contacts into bins. This app aims to help users manage and understand their social relationships better.

This app was solely developed by myself with inspiration from my passion to revolutionize the way we connect online. It is relied on by 20+ people and has been downloaded over 200 times. It is a great example of my expertise in my skillset and my ability to bring products to reality from the ground up.

This app was launched to the app store after a successful beta campaign where over 30 people helped test and provided feedback.

A promotional website was also designed to advertise the product and inform potential investors and users on it's capabilities. You can visit the product landing page here:

This site was built for Kitzuma Cycling Logistics.

Vue.js 2 and Nuxt 2 were used along with bootstrap and SCSS.

Features include a 'tip your driver' tool.

I worked together with a Master’s of Environmental Management student from Western Colorado University and a team of engineers from the Colorado School of Mines to develop a web application that aims to aid Colorado communities in the climate action planning process by aggregating public GHG data and displaying the most effective climate action planning recommendations. My role as a full-stack developer and technical consultant is to design and manage the database model and all parts of the of the web app as well as consulting with the Mines engineering students. Some of the tools I created for the app include a map tool using google maps api, various charts and graphs to visualize greenhouse gas data, and a web interface for providing CAP recommendations chosen by a filtering algorithm.

This project is the site you are on right now!

It uses Sanity CMS to manage the creation of project pages and blog posts.

Sanity uses a JSON-based rich text specification called portable text which allows a high degree of customization for the content to be created and presented.

The site uses a single page design with links anchored to different sections on the same page.

Next.js allows the code to be rendered server-side with React, greatly improving SEO capabilities.

Much of the backend logic that the web app uses was able to be used in the mobile app as well, reducing production time and lowering costs.  They share the same database, so any changes made on the web app are also reflected in this mobile app.
