My Portfolio of Major Projects. This is a brief overview of the largest projects I have been involved with and personally responsible for.

Working with The Walt Disney Company, I lead the Systems and Operations team of ABC Enhanced Television, transforming an ailing real-time web production network into an industry-leading program synchronous interactive television system. I further played a major role in the design and development of single-screen on-air interactive television. Our engineering team won an Emmy® Award for Outstanding Achievement in Advanced Media Technology for the Creation of Video Games for our work on the Jetix Interactive Gaming System.

I created several internal solutions for IBM, including a Linux-based Token Ring to Ethernet Bridge and a Remote Software Inventory system which queried hundreds of remote servers, and gathered information on installed software packages, version information, and OS patches. As well, I was responsible for third-tier support of corporate accounts including: Sony, Delphion, Chase Manhattan, Starwood Hotels, The National Basketball Assosiation, and many other large clients.

JavaScripts.com I helped to create the very first version of JavaScripts.com back in 1997, and it soon grew in popularity to consist of over eight thousand unique JavaScripts, and six hundred thousand registered technical professionals. The site was acquired by EarthWeb Incorporated in 1998, and I personally reprogrammed the site to coexist with EarthWeb's Corporate Image, as well as oversaw the migration from Cold Fusion under Windows, to a Solaris and Oracle based solution. JavaScripts.com was once the largest production website using the Cold Fusion Application Server. The current incarnation of the site is a DTD/XML spinoff produced by Internet.com after Earthweb was acquired. You can still find a few zillion Simba says Roar taglines scattered about the web, which were a result of this site.

Linux.com was a community venture by VA Linux Systems (a.k.a VA Research, VA Software, etc) designed to be a one stop information warehouse for the various operating systems based on the Linux Kernel. I put about two years of spare time into the site, beginning as a technical content writer, and then moving on to managing the FirstStep, and later the Sysadmin sections of the site with a few dozen technical writers under me. Some time later, after VA removed themselves from the Linux arena, the site was spun off into a NewsForge portal.

Developer.com was EarthWeb's flagship IT resource site, responsible for a large chunk of their advertising revenues. I was tasked with the creation of hundreds of resource lists, each comprised of 200 plus tutorials, examples, samples and various technical information for a vast array of IT information.

FatCow Web Hosting was another venture by Clickhere! which I was involved with. It began life in 1997 as the first ever Unlimited (storage space) Web Hosting Provider. While most companies were charging per megabyte storage and data transfer fees, we gave birth to the first truely Unlimited hosting solution. I was personally responsible for programming and support of the CGI/Perl systems and support of each. I wrote more perl on this one than I can honestly remember.
