iPodinCar

iPodinCar was created in an effort to cater to the growing number of consumers interested in how to hook their iPods up to their car stereo systems.

It has been on of my most profitable sites because it focuses on an audience that is very receptive to targeted advertising. The site uses PHP to support close integration with Google's Picassa picture management software, random photos, and templating.

File Downloader

While working at HouseValues.com I recognized the need for more powerful and specialized tools for automatically downloading long lists of files. In response to this need I worked with the rest of my team to create a detailed list of requirements, submitted a plan to management, and then implemented and documented the application that meets that need.

It not only download lists of files, but includes an interpreter that allows it to mimic browser connections by send cookies, post and get data, and parsing html and http headers. It also is capable of passing requests through proxy servers, handling errors gracefully, and pausing and resuming download projects.

Zaap

As part of my course work in information visualization I was given the task to design an application to allow users to explore a complex data set. I worked with Zach Hale to create a tool for analyzing web server traffic logs that would reveal interesting patterns to the data.
