Web :: Development && Design
djspecialblend DJSpecialblend.com This site uses a combination of actionscript, php, mysql, javascript and html to get the job done. The header was created after hand tracing an image of Dj SB in Illustrator and exporting a swf to Flash. The frame solution was implemented in order to allow uninterupted audio streams while browsing throughout the site.
theANTI antidesigns.com AntiDesigns.com began as a spinoff of 1hotpieceofglass.com. As time progressed, it became clear that I needed a different framework for this site. I redesigned the backend from an OOP standpoint using PHP and MySQL. This site is constantly evolving and requires a great deal of attention. It currently is integrated with the PayPal payment gateway and has hooks to a homemade inventory system. The site requires each artist to have the ability to upload his or her own designs and products at will and a database management interface was created in order to meet this requirement. The interface is now used across all sites I develop.

leedz LeedzEdutainment.com Edu Leedz's website uses a combination of PHP, MySQL, Flash, and Actionscript to put the word out to Boston's underground hip hop heads. This site gives the Leedz the ability to edit all aspects of his site himself, including news posts, artist bios and images, links, shows, and pictures.
luke adams handblown glass 1hotpieceofglass.com This site was my first real web job. I partnered with Mark Adams for most of the design elements, and took care of all the web development work. This site originally had its own eCommerce system, using a shared ssl security lock, which was later abondoned due to requirement changes by the customer. This site uses PHP, MySQL, Javascript, HTML, Ming, and Flash. I learned a great deal from this project, including the creation of the first version of the database management interface.

Joe Amico designed the site and I coded the actionscript in order to create the motion of the menu. Please be don't click the links, they were going to a pornographic site the last time I checked.
database design project Database Design Project This project required my partner Eben Bathalon and I to create an interface to a set of provided data for insertion, deletion, editting and searching. The project was designed to familiarize students with the basic set of SQL commands. We chose to use the PHP MySQL pair and this project was completed with ease.
cryptography project cryptography This is a compilation of programs that I had to write for my applied cryptography course at Northeaster. Although it's not designed to be eye candy, there is some very useful stuff here.
Web :: Development && Maintainance
catch a fire clothing CatchAFireClothing.com This is Bob Marley's daughter Cedella Marley's Clothing website. I did some work fixing up a bunch of Javascript and HTML code that worked between a preexisting flatfile inventory system and the front end.
JayJewels.net jay jewels dot net JayJewels.net In August 2005 I designed and developed the eCommerce interface for this jewelry website using Actionscript. The AS is tied into the PayPal payment gateway, allowing users to purchase jewelry online.
sterling jones design SterlingJonesDesign.com SterlingJonesDesign.com has a very cool design. I did a lot of house-keeping to get the fla files away from code repetition, and the result is a far easier to understand source file. I was briefly contracted to update the different product lines, create new menus, and redesign the media section.
capoeira brasil boston CapoeiraBrasilBoston.com This is the home to my capoeira group. I've studied with Instructor Caveira for 5 years now, and I've managed his site for 3. The current design was created by Renato Amarante, and I've taken over the maintainance role. I created the guestbook system, which was great until the spammers started destroying it. The animated menus, photo slideshows, and flash videos were all created in either Flash or Ming.
