Programming

I am a software engineer by day, and a software engineer by night. That’s right. I actually enjoy programming even in my spare time. I do not do it all of the time, but I would list it as one of my past times.

Current Projects

• The Budgeteeer Budse
  A budgeting program that allows you to keep track of sub-accounts. Deposits can be made into particular accounts or in the entire account with a percentage split toward the sub-accounts.

Past Projects

• Grocery Pricer (details)

  A program that allows you to contribute and feed from collective knowledge. Use the application in order to supply your grocery price data and/or view prices. It will calculate average prices as well as maximum and minimums according to different stores.

  I have shelved this project for the time being. Okay actually it’s been shelved for over a year since I really just want to redo it completely. It still seems like a stupendous idea, though.

• Soi-Disant

  I created the entire theme for this site. I named it soi-disant and released it awhile back. Doing this required me to use PHP, HTML, CSS, and design skills (that I at times sorely lacked).

• Wedding website, including an online RSVP application

  This was for my own wedding so I had to do a good job on it. I decided to tackle this on my own since I had previously done an RSVP application for a wedding for someone else. While I did not use that previous application, I definitely learned from doing that as I wrote a new one. To make this website happen, I ventured into the land of Drupal. I had to learn not only how to set a Drupal website up, I also had to learn how to write web applications in their framework. It turned out to be an excellent experience once I got through the learning curve!

  The RSVP portion of the website consisted of:

  • MySQL database table set up
  • PHP parsing scripts (for the CSV files that we used to create our guestlist, etc)
  • A multi-step validating RSVP page, including error and required field validation
  • Dashboard for viewing statistics and status
• Fatsheep Printing

  I ventured back into the land of web programming for a friend’s business, but instead of doing each page manually I tried my hand at creating a generator in Python. It was actually pretty enjoyable and I ended up utilizing Python, CSS, HTML, and JavaScript.
