Sample Work

Portfolio Website
Written in Laravel, PHP, MVC, Eloquent, MySQL, jQuery
An example of my front end capabilities with project outlines and links to sample work
Written in Laravel, PHP, MVC, Eloquent, Oracle, jQuery, EaselJS
Custom plate and panel design tool developed in Laravel 8/PHP. SVG illustrations, Laravel controllers, eloquent models, blade templates and ajax interact with the HTML5 canvas element through EaselJS. Interface is intuitive and allows design, pricing, proofing, approving and ordering in a matter of minutes. Design approval auto-creates BOM, production routing, mfg costing and pricing information in the ERP so parts can be immediately ordered with no sales interaction.
Written in Laravel, PHP, MVC, Eloquent, Oracle, jQuery
Product selector that allows users to select from a wide variety of adapter options to configure their adapter ring. Application returns product and pricing based on selected options and creates new configurations on the fly as needed. Selector can be “framed” into dealer web sites by copying a javascript snippet from Liberty’s site and pasting into their site.
Written in Laravel, PHP, MVC, Eloquent, Oracle, jQuery
Part of a much larger rewrite of the entire custom e-commerce platform from legacy monolithic PHP to Laravel MVC. Extensive use of Laravel controllers, eloquent models, blade templates and ajax to handle product selection logic. Product selection uses icon-based methodology wherever possible to make product choices easier to understand.
