This site is intended to be the first in a project to create a easily customizable online store, that can be cloned with a few clicks, all linked into a 'dashboard' that would allow the site admin to see the status of all his stores at once.
- Tools:PHP, HTML, JavaScript, Subversion.
- Description:When I came on this project the site was in serious need of repair, most of my work was repairing the site and moving the site from a windows server to a Unix server. The project came to an early end because of lack of funding.
Due to Cingular's merger with AT&T this site is no longer available in its original format.
- Tools:ASP, PHP, MySql, MsSql, CSS, JavaScript, AJAX
- Description:This site was a merging of many Cingular sites into one. I was responsible for almost all the implementation of the new site. In addition to moving data from the old servers to a new one, I created a new site navigation and new content management systems. Some of these content management systems used AJAX. While testing the migration, I also repaired many bugs with in the previous software.

- Tools: PHP, XML

Click on Find A Store
.
- Tools: PHP, XML, SOAP, MsSQL, GIS(ArcWeb)
- Description: Users can search for stores based on proximity to their location, entered as a zip code or City and state. This was accomplished with 3 parts: a flash front end, a php back-end, and a Geographic Information System web-service( arcweb ). The Simple Object Access Protocol was used to retrieve the coordinates from the GIS web-service and then using those coordinates, retrieved a SOAP object describing all of the locations that matched the users specifications. After the locations are retrieved and parsed, each store location is cross referenced with a SQL database to determine what products that store carries. The PHP takes all of this information and generates an XML file to send to the flash movie that will display the information to the user.

In addition, I also did many upgrades to the internal administration site.
