Duke University - Favorite Projects
Course Synopsis Database, a dynamic online system that integrates the university mainframe database with a Unix SQL server and allows users to view, search, and update via the web. I liked doing the research to find a good sturdy SQL server and putting all the pieces together to make the project work.
Arts and Sciences Work Queue: Created an online system with a database backend that allows distributed units to communicate needs and priorities via the web.
Arts and Sciences A/V resources database: Web environment that allows administrative staff to facilitate the management of audio-visual resources.
The Papyrus Archive: Served as Duke University's technical contact in a tri-university consortium to create this searchable database of ancient texts.
Arts and Sciences Teaching Pages: I designed courseware to assist faculty in using the web for teaching. I also designed these "teaching pages" to help faculty explore the options available for using technology with teaching.
Cynthia Sulzberger Interactive Learning Lab site: This site is an example of my artistic ability, since I created all of the art on these pages by hand. This site is also a good example of my technical writing skills. I wrote all of the copy and technical pages.
NandO Net - Favorite Projects
The Cyrano Server: I had a wild idea one night to make a program that helped people write love letters on the web, sort of like a "mad-lib". I wrote the program and it became wildly popular. I even got to go on a talk show in New York City, and was also interviewed on Public Radio.
Triangle Guide: My first foray into the professional web development business came in 1994. I noticed that the News and Observer had a very skimpy web page - that was back when no one ha d heard of the web yet - and I told them I could put all the entertainment news online for them. I developed the original automation programs to make the Triangle Guide Online.
