Also allows for line learning, taking director's rehearsal notes, and line notes. Incorporates MediaStreamRecording API and Web Speech API (SpeechRecognition and SpeechSynthesis). Currently client-side only, storing data in browser with IndexedDB and LocalStorage, but will one day integrate with main app and database.Grapevine Escape / Grapevine, TX▪ Re-wrote "The Chapel" room web app originally created by another developer that was not reliable. Used NodeJS as the server platform and Web Sockets for communicating with the browser. The app keeps the main app used by customers in sync with the apps that display videos, as well as an admin app that allows the admin to control the app state, as necessary.▪ Working with proprietors on future room concepts that take advantage of the same architecture.

Worked on re-architecting single-page application (SPA) that serves as an online editor and live simulator for building iOS and Android mobile applications. The resulting code is much smaller, faster, and more efficient than the Kendo UI-based solution initially used.o Page thumbnail images are created on-the-fly by copying the HTML and using CSS transform to scale down. Had tried using canvas, but decided against it for performance reasons.o Uses current core JavaScript technologies, such as MutationObserver, ObjectObserver, Templates, and LocalStorage, with polyfills used when necessary. Observers are used to implement a custom data binding system that is tailored to our specific needs, but also flexible enough to be used elsewhere. LocalStorage is used to improve performance and provide a data backup solution. Experimented with IndexedDB and Promises before deciding against them.o Instead of creating routers that traditionally swap out complete “pages”, this architecture uses data attributes and basic CSS to re-use existing HTML.o The new SPA is usable on desktop systems, tablets, and phones.Implemented several redesigns of corporate web site using HTML 5, CSS, and some JavaScript.Improved and maintained a Kendo UI-based single-page application. Found and fixed many inefficiencies and bottlenecks.

Updating an old customer portal site in HTML 5, CSS 3, and core JavaScript. The site uses advanced CSS techniques to create a 3D visual effect, as well as 2D and 3D CSS animations. Includes an editor add-on for allowing users to create a branded skin.

Rewrote a couple of web pages in HTML 5, CSS 3, and JavaScript/jQuery. Greatly reduced the size and complexity of each, while making the pages accessible with JavaScript disabled, images disabled, and CSS disabled by using progressive enhancement techniques. Currently in the process of retrofitting the site’s Adobe CQ CMS template with the new code.Made various bug fixes to JavaScript, CSS, Adobe CQ, and Vignette code.

Continuation of SensorLogic position after Gemalto bought SensorLogic.

Handled the front-end of a few web applications that used the Google Maps API. Technologies used were JSP, HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and MySQL. Helped define our own set of JavaScript APIs to provide a conduit for myself and third-party developers to use our back-end web services that provide various information about GPS-based devices. This API supported both Google Maps and Bing Maps. Also, developed an administration utility site using Grails and Ext JS frameworks, creating data in JSON format.

Created both the front-end and Java/Oracle back-end of thirteen sites, comprising six countries, for Intrinsa.com, formerly a Procter & Gamble Global brand. Twelve of the thirteen sites use the same codebase and application server instance. Coded accessibility-compliant, valid XHTML markup, standards-compliant CSS, as well as unobtrusive JavaScript to provide interactivity. Wrote custom JSP tags and JavaBeans to accommodate the varying personalization needs of current and future countries.Re-architected and developed the consumer site for P&G's PrilosecOTC.com, making the code SEO-compliant, as well as usable and accessible with Flash, JavaScript and CSS enabled or disabled.Made major updates to the site for P&G's Secret.com. Rewrote the site navigation, replacing much JavaScript used for styling with CSS and enhancing it with JavaScript for visual effects. Used jQuery to create animation effects, while still providing interactivity with JavaScript-disabled browsers.Maintained the American Diabetes Association web site and created its My Health Advisor application. This application uses standard HTML controls, customized with CSS to match the desired design, but remains usable with CSS and JavaScript disabled.Worked with a front-end developer and another back-end developer to create the EpilepsyEmpowerment.com web site. This site uses Java Server Faces, Hibernate, and Spring frameworks that I had to learn specifically for the project.Initiated effort and worked with team consisting of members from several disciplines to develop changes to the implementation process to simplify and reduce errors for writers, designers, information architects, and developers. Created web-based utility that would generate HTML pages directly from Word content and a text-based template, reducing from days to seconds the time that would have been spent copying and pasting text from the content document into the HTML code.

Member of a team responsible for creating architecture to be used for new web applications and porting existing client application to web applications.Created a wireframe to serve as a prototype of the application. Used CSS, JavaScript, and DHTML to design site, simulate user interaction and load data via XML documents. Demonstrated wireframe to client and work with them to further refine the requirements and design.Used the Struts framework for the architecture and the porting.Modified Swing-based Java client application for internal use. Technologies used include Eclipse / WSAD, StarTeam and Toad for manipulating Oracle database.Re-engineered the deployment process of the client application so that it uses a customized Java Web Start.

Used several open-source technologies to create intranet web and standalone applications written in Java and deployed on AIX UNIX servers. Applications included batch processes that used SQL to create data extracts, a Swing-based client for creating Java archives, a web-based client that transferred the archives to a UNIX server-side application via sockets, and a variety of web-based applications that were used to maintain data stored in a DB2 database. Technologies included Tomcat, Jo!, Eclipse IDE, SQuirreL, CVS, JavaMail, Swing.Created Java application that sent e-mail notifications to retail stores that had not completed the necessary steps for processing associate timecards at the end of a pay period, as well as a web-based front end to allow them to respond accordingly. A separate web application allowed administration to track the responses.Worked with documentation specialist to create technical specifications and design documents for each application.

Significantly enhanced user interface of Swing-based Java application used for monitoring the status of operator client applications and fail-over call queues, and enabled live monitoring of calls using Java Media Framework and EJB.Researched and implemented an IMAP web interface to a third-party mail server.
