Software Developer, Manager, Owner
State Educational Systems, LLC. (www.StateCertify.com)
Currently own and operate a small business. I fully developed the website
and all it's administrative software and tools to run it. Everything is
automated, and it is still operating and doing business as of this day.
Extensive use of PHP with:
- Kohana (Model-View-Controller Framework)
- Doctrine (Object-Relational Model Database Framework)
- JavaScript Prototype Library & JQuery
- MySQL Community Server 5 (heavy data encryption)
- Cron Jobs
At the core of the system lies the Kohana framework, which is
similar to Ruby on Rails' MVC structure. I developed the entire system
from the ground up, starting with the graphic design all the way to credit
card processing, pdf reciepts, reports, automation via cron jobs, rss feeds,
automated graphic generators, etc. Graphic Design via Adobe Fireworks,
CSS through Dreamweaver.
Administration software was also needed:
- I wrote from the ground up a Live-Support Chat system
(similar to Facebook's messenger), via PHP, MySQL and JQuery.
- I developed software for Linux, for record keeping and user
processing. Technologies include:
- Software written in RealBasic handling
Encryption/Decription data transmission, and managing data in local
MySQL server.
- Certain components written in C++ (such as a PDF
generator) to help automate printing of certificates & envelopes.
- Overall administration resources through PHP & Prototype
Library.
Android Developer
SAG Mobile Software, DBA.
I organized a personal software DBA. I had the opportunity to write apps
for the android market. The venture did generate money over time,
unfortunately the returns on the time invested were not as good as hoped
for. Administrative apps, rss feed reading (XML parsing), file
downloading, media streaming, multi-language development. I still have
projects in my mind and I write ocassionaly when time permitted.
Technologies:
- Android SDK/API
- PhoneGAP Webapps (currently developing with this tool)
- Remote PHP-run servers.
Website Developer
I have developed websites for businesses as time has permitted, all of
them with WordPress. It usualy involved working with blogs,
eCommerce, developing custom WordPress plugins, or modifying
templates and adaptations of existing plugins. Graphic design, adding
features, automatic Blog posting via Tweeter RSS feeds for better search
engine optimization (SEO), and optimizing the website for Mobile
devices.
