Stitches
This is a personal open source project that received a mention from Smashing Magazine, was twice-included in the HTML5 Weekly newsletter, and drives over 5000 visitors a month to my personal site. It demonstrates the ability to work with the new HTML5 APIs. Visitors to the repository also see the use of build scripts (Grunt), automated JavaScript documentation (Docker), minification (Uglify), linting (JSHint), and unit testing (QUnit).

This project involved adding a new feature to the Ford brand websites, including the Save widget, which is syndicated across all Ford shopping tools sites (e.g. Search Dealer Inventory, Certified Pre-Owned). I was the lead front-end developer on this project, which involved integrating code and efforts from a number of different vendors. I am responsible for the front-end code architecture. It demonstrates working with 3rd party authentication, RESTful APIs, JavaScript templates, and URL hash-based navigation.

OnStar » Experience OnStar
This project was essentially a port of an existing Flash module to HTML5, with some additional functionality involved. I was the lead front-end developer on the project. It demonstrates the use of (once again) JavaScript templates, URL hash-based navigation, and the incorporation of 3rd party APIs from Brightcove for HTML5 video. I also rewrote the OnStar Omniture tracking module to be faster and more standards compliant.

Mercury Studio » My Local KFC
Developed a content portal for local KFC franchises to post coupons, promos, pricing, and to allow visitors to create catering menus. I implemented both the front-end, administration section, and MySQL database back-end using the CodeIgniter PHP framework.
