What I've Done
I generally spend my hobby time developing data-driven websites for clients on a pro-bono basis. Also currently in development are other projects which I will mention when they're out of 'stealth mode'.
October-2008 - July 2009
St. Ann's Catholic School

I worked on St. Ann Catholic School's website, taking it from Static HTML to a data-driven customized Content management system written in C# with the ASP.NET MVC platform. Since Content Management Systems are the new Hello, World!, I thought it only fitting to write one in a new paradigm. Over the course of 10 months, I created a simple yet secure method for teachers and administrators to add and edit content for their site. The backend was designed and implemented using SQL Server 2005 and Linq-to-SQL.
July-2009 - Present
Big Spring United Methodist Church

Charlotte, NC
For this project I'm working with a local church to implement their first website. Version 1, (when complete!), features podcasts, video, and image galleries using JQuery. The back-end is being designed and implemented in ASP.NET MVC and SQL Server 2005 with Linq-to-SQL for the data access layer. This will be Version 2 of the customized content management system I wrote for St. Ann, and there is work going into generalizing (and hopefully) releasing the source code for others to use.
Stack Overflow
I joined Stack Overflow in September 2008, and over the course of that time have both given and received guidance from the greater programming community on a wide range of topics.
