Portfolio
This is a very brief portfolio of some of the work I have done in the past. My experience spans a wide range of technologies and I have tried to cover everything.
Matchmine Partner Prototyping Framework, October 2008
Utilizing the capabilities of the partner user experience framework (see below), designed and implemented a configurable prototype to be used by our Client Services team to demonstrate our technology to prospective partners.

Following specifications from project management, made each widget customizable with the use of DHTML templates and CSS. Created event driven controller for managing the state of all widgets as well as handling user interactions. Some of the compnents included a discovery widget for displaying results from Matchmine servers, custom configurable popups for use throughout the framework, and a tabbed matchkey training widget (shown below) which could contain additional components within its tabs. Managed results caching and state persistence with Flash shared objects and handled cross-domain communication through an embedded Flex plugin.
