NoveList/EBSCO
Aug. 2009 - Present

Currently, I am working at NoveList/EBSCO. NoveList creates web-applications for public libraries. Below is a screen shot of their flag-ship product, NoveList Plus. You can demo the product by
  • pointing your borwser to the NoveList product demo page
  • entering the user name: novelist and the password readers
  • and then selecting NoveList Plus from the list of products.
Although not all my own work, my contributions to this product are extensive, from the main navigation, to the carousel and recommendations, I have had my hand in almost all the UI of this application.
NoveList sells another product entitled NoveList Select. Library customers put a script tag on their catalog detail page and when a user searches on a particular work the page makes a request to NoveList to bring down content about that work. NoveList Select
ComeOut4 Canvassing
As a side project, I am currently working on an interface that will aid in politcal organization and canvassing. The site linked here is a stage 1 prototype that allows the user to search for an address in Raleigh, NC and see the voter registration data laid out by parcel.

County government GIS sites were mined for parcel data, and the voter registration data comes from the state board of elections.
This work is 100% my own.

NCEMA Emergency Management Collaborative Portal
During my stint at Renci I created many Sharepoint portal applications. This one was the most visible, and is still in use today. It was conceived as a way to aid the NC Emergency Management community is their effort at increasing collaboration between counties.
I have not worked on this since I left Renci, so I'm not sure what features have been added. At the time, I designed and implemented the portal on my own.
NC-First Weather Portal

The NC-First weather portal was another highly successful project I worked on with one other developer at Renci. In a partnership with NOAA, we scraped data from the National Weather service and aggregated that with our own in-house Weather Forecasting Model data to produce a site that gave the NC Emergency Management community all the weather products they rely on on a daily basis in one central place.
