Global Training Edge Inc. contracted me to design a website for their 7 Safety Habits program. The website needed to appeal to their target market, showcase their services, and be relatively simple. It was a routine project over all, and the client was very satisified with my work. Working in partnership with Design by Graduates, I was hired to code the site's design and to program a custom built PHP Content Management System for this site. The client was quite happy with the end product. For Backcountry 4x4, I was hired to design a new website, setup a forum, and transfer all users, posts, and other data from the existing forums. The existing forums were hosted on a free proboard account which used proprietary/closed databases.

I had to write a PHP script which would parse the forum HTML into approriate SQL to then be tranferred to the new databases. It was a difficult and time consuming job, and the client greatly appreciated my effort. I was contracted by Design By Graduates to code a Wordpress theme to match the accompanying site. Working with Design by Graduates again, I was hired to program a custom client area for Exquisite Suites. The client area was to show off the suites, company info, and client credit. I was contracted by Design By Graduates to code a Wordpress theme to match the accompanying site. I worked for Global Training Edge Inc. as an independent contractor for over 2 years, and one of my responsibilities was ongoing website maintenance and updates. One of the updates was a new design for their main site. This was one of the first things I did for them, and was fairly routine work. I coded the template, added a blog, and coded a CMS for them.

Around the same time, I also coded a mass email tool for marketing purposes and a lightweight CRM (Customer Relations Management) system. Over 2 years after Global Training Edge first hired me, they decided to merge their sites into one, and they also wanted the backend overhauled.

I took just under 2 weeks to design and code the new theme, transfer all the content to it, develop a new CMS that was very easy to use and set them up with SugarCRM for customer management. The client was extrememly satisfied with the results. Design by Graduates hired me to develop a Wordpress based site for a record company, Hype Records. This was a very challenging job since it called for a custom system, or even alternative software, but the client had insisted on Wordpress.

It required extensive modifications to Wordpress to support posting various Artists, Music items, videos, and products, all managed by Wordpress.

This was a very challenging job since it called for a custom system, or even alternative software, but the client had insisted on Wordpress.

It required extensive modifications to Wordpress to support posting various Artists, Music items, videos, and products, all managed by Wordpress. I was hired initially to provide just a coded website template. Over time, I was hired several times to make modifications and fix errors created by the companies own IT Team.

Then I was hired to code a SEO friendly car listing, with an easy to use administration interface. For this website, I worked with a Web Design firm in Ontario called Design By Graduates. They provided the design and client details and I worked on the code. I worked with Design By Graduates on numerous occasions and enjoyed collaborating with them.

This project involved coding the site in XHTML and CSS, testing in all major browsers as per usual, and integrating the site with their existing CMS. The hardest part of this job was the portfolio, where I developed a Javascript based frontend with an easy to use PHP backend for adding product images and descriptions. The project required several small modifications to satisfy the client, and they were very happy with the end product. I was contracted by Design By Graduates to code a Wordpress theme to match the accompanying site. I was contracted by Design By Graduates to slice and code a website, wordpress theme, and develop a backend login system for clients for Little Dog Productions. Working with our good friends in Toronto (Design By Graduates), I coded the design they provided and made several modifications as requested by the client. Working with a data mining engineer, I developed a frontend for Global Training Edge Inc. to showcase their extensive collection of safety related court cases. The site had an easy to use update system for importing Microsoft Access data, a powerful but simple to use search system. The site also included a subscription based payment model using PayPal and custom software. I was hired by a client to design and code a website and install a forum. I also developed several account monitoring tools for the forums (Running Invision Power Board) Working with Design by Graduates, I coded the main design and developed a custom CMS for the site. CMS had to support the multi level page structure the client had asked for. For StressXpress, I developed a Kijiji like marketplace for their small niche community. The system had 3 main categories, Buy & Sell, Barter, and Free, with the user selecting a Country and then a City to browse from. I integrated my new system into their existing login system and designed a new and easy to use administration interface.

The marketplace has the option to browse items, post items (with pictures, description, price range, address, etc), report items (which are in violation of the TOS), or search items. Verification and deletion was handled by logging in or using the email that was sent to you when you posted an item.

To reduce spam, additional changes were made to the existing login system to make it more secure. A phpBB forum system was also installed, a theme developed, and the login integrated with the main site. For VB Aero, I was hired to develop a website, a CMS, and a client area where the admin could post interactive forms, PDFs, files, images, and plane information on a user-by-user basis. This system had to be very secure because of the data on the site, and so I also hosted it on my Dedicated Server.

VB Aero contracted us to make numerous additions afterward, and is very pleased with the quality of work done. I was contracted by Global Training Edge Inc. to code a Wordpress theme to match the accompanying site.
