Web
My experience in web development started at UWSP, when I enrolled in the (at the time) brand new Web and Digital Media Development program. I continue to gain valuable experience maintaining & adding to the, larger-scale, corporate website & web store for my current employer. A greater deal of my knowledge on web development comes from my outreach & desire to learn more about today's ever-growing methods & technologies.
The web assemblage of my portfolio is a bit succinct, as I havent sought-out opportunities to expand it until now. So, if interested in setting up or relaunching a web site & like what you see here, please see my contact information and let me know how I can help!

Applications
I've been developing & maintaining windows applications for professional, personal & educational use for the past several years. The efficiency & convenience has always appealed to me.
Essentially, I enjoy creating applications to help with my computer-related problems, or to give me functionality that might not be available but I think would be cool or useful to have. Here are a few examples..
Title: Playlist Generator
Description: Scans user-defined input directories for audio files, generates an audio playlist for each directory, and saves all resulting playlists in a centralized user-defined output directory. My 2009-03-27 entry explained how to this using MediaMonkey.. here's how I managed to accomplish the same task with a windows app.
Built With: Microsoft Visual Basic 2008 Express Edition 3.5 Framework. Custom User Controls. Use of VB's My.Settings to store user configurations. Heavy usage in the System.IO namespace.
Source Files: playlist_generator_v0_0_1_3.zip (140 KB)
Title: Wallpaper Changer
Description: As a collector of high-resolution photography & digital art, I developed this small windows app to set specified/random image files as my desktop background -- equiped with a fully-functional scheduler. Functions in taskbar & when maximized.
Built With: Visual Studio 2008 C#.NET 3.5 Framework. Uses Windows' APIs, writes/retrieves settings to/from registry.
