Wikimedia Usability Initiativeen.wikipedia.org
Worked with a small team of developers and designers from the Wikimedia Foundation to develop a new skin and many usability enhancements for mediawiki. As part of this project, I developed collapsible tabs and left navigation, helped build a simpler search field with suggestions, and spent lots of time working on new editing tools to encourage more users to participate in editing wikipedia.
Sabrasabra.com
New custom CMS and website developed for the food company Sabra. The site features an easy to browse product page, a store locator, and recipes featuring the companies products.
Red Bullredbull.com
I spent more time and effort on the new RedBull.com than any single site I've ever worked on before. I lead the technical side of this project for The Barbarbian Group and spent seven months developing and documenting templates, advising the clients, writing javascript libraries for powering the ajax components of the site, and building custom internal tools, all to aid Red Bull in unifying their 1,000+ web properties into one large, international, easy-to-update hub. This site marks a radical shift in the way Red Bull represents it's brand online and I couldn't be happier that I was able to be a part of helping them onto the path they are on now.

Scissors is an image bookmarking and blog tool I created for myself after a few months of being frustrated with someone else's. It allows me to save and share images I come across in my travels around the internet. It started as a simple experiment and has turned into a visual and programming playground where I refine and share my personal taste and test new ideas.
The Barbarian Groupthebarbariangroup.com
Test Coverage
I worked with a small team of Barbarians to completely overhaul BarbarianGroup.com. We utilized test driven development and Scrum to create a beautiful new site for the company. I was responsible for half of the server-side development, which included writing a custom text parser for dynamically injecting markup to create semi-intelligent popup context links within the site. We were also able to closely integrated the site with existing internal applications to avoid redundant data input.

Test Coverage
One of the first websites I ever got paid to create was for Peter Leach, an architectural and still life photographer based in eastern Pennsylvania. It was a monstrosity. Content zooming in and out, disappearing navigation, and generally everything I have come to hate about flash-based websites. Peter was kind enough to pay me to redeem myself and create a new and much improved version of his site. It's dead simple, content focused, and exactly what Peter needed. Shame it took us 5 years to finally get it right.
