I was employed full-time at Bocajava from December 2007 - July 2010. In that time, I helped transform the Boca Java website to reflect the quality product which they sell. My contribution to the site consisted of the initial UI/UX design, all front-end development, the product catalog application development, and development and management of the 'community' section of the site, which is a customized, themed, Wordpress installation. During this time I also contributed many ideas and recommendations, some of which were implemented, and some of which were not.

I was contracted with Countrywide Home Loans for six months, during which I completed approximately one microsite per month. Each microsite had its own content, and target audience - however the overall intent was to drive interest in Countrywide's home loan products. Unique to these sites were the 'Home Valuation' tool, a wrapped API similar in functionality to Zillow, and the 'Build a Mortgage' tool, an ajax driven dialog to help guide users in the type of mortgage product that would be most useful to them. I was responsible for all design and development on the microsites.

I placed this site separate from the other Countrywide sites because it was intended to only tenuously link to the Countrywide brand. The overall look and feel is a departure from other Countrywide sites, as it seeks to be a warmer, more positive resource for those suffering financial difficulty. I was responsible for all design and development of this site.

Quimbee maintains a database of case law briefs, as well as selling collections of briefs through Shopify.com. Their main demographic is college law students, although even seasoned attorneys can find the content of this site helpful. Quimbee is a php/mySql application built using the Codeigniter PHP framework. It also utilizes APIs from Shopify and Mailchimp as enhancements to operations, and the search is powered by Sphinx. Quimbee features a robust admin section which allows the editors to quickly and easily make additions and updates to the site's data.
