Descripion: This is the jitsunexus. A world wide JiuJitsu discussion forum built to unite JiuJitsu practitioners around the globe. (expired! this site will be redone as a collective blog, written only by invited, respected sensei, so that the world is connected. The problem with the old architecture is that people talk about JiuJitsu at the pub after classes. rendering a forum to be redundant. However. However, a collective blog will only have valuable knowledge posted on it.)

Technologies used: PHPBB forum engine
Languages Used: HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript, PHP, MySQL

Languages Used: HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript, PHP

DesignMachine 1.0 - Freelancer Portfolio

Descripion: This was my old business front for my freelance work. I spent a lot of time building a reusable framework. This was an MVC design built in PHP. I later switch to using the MVC framework built by the CakePHP community, as it is built by many passionate developers around the world. My work was not entirly in vain. I learned a great deal from building a large framework in PHP. I then later abandoned using an MVC framework all together and now DesignMachine 2.0 is a single page website. Brought to life with the magic of JavaScript and the SVG RaphaelJS library.

Technologies used: Custom MVC Framework
Languages Used: HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript, PHP, MySQL

DesignMachine 2.0 - Freelancer Portfolio

Descripion:Currently the business front and portfolio of DesignMachine's work. It took me almost 6 months, but I finally settled on a design. Again, I love interesting one page websites brought to life with fun javascript. The gears on the page randomly generate in their shapes and connections. Then smoothly rotate according their arrangement when you navigate around the page.

Technologies used: JQuery, RaphaelJS
Languages Used: HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript

Section 29 - Paintball Business/Registration

Descripion: (work in progress) This is a website for a paintball business growing in Peterborough, Ontario. A great deal was learned about photoshop and to what extent it can be helpful in making websites more beautiful. I also used flash to make the animated banner.

Pulseatron - Music Portfolio

Clever use of JQuery and CSS3 made this website pop so well. The round corners, the sliding transitions, the music player. Everything designed for a minimalist but fullfilling experiance.

Technologies used: JQuery
Languages Used: HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript, PHP

Guide To Game - Business Front

Descripion: This is easily the [edit: now second] largest project I have ever built for a client. The project was passed to me from a company who simply didn't have the time. The project to over 150 hours of workin on evenings and weekends. Because the project was to overhull an existing WordPress blog, I felt using wordpress again was the best choice of action. The client was very happy with the results, and the project turned out to be the single advantage they needed to conquer their competition in Ontario. [edit: The client has been back for many more updates, and has referred to me, most of my client flow.]

Technologies used: WordPress, JQuery, NextGEN Gallery, WP e-Commerce
Languages Used: HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript, PHP, MySQL

Sage Parent

Descripion: This was a quicky job for a lovely person in need of a forum I found on Kijiji(classifieds site).

Technologies used: PHPBB
Languages Used: HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript, PHP, MySQL

Ottawa Recreational Soccer

Descripion: On this project I converted an, old-school-from-scratch-php site into a WordPress functional one. It took some strong debugging skills and caffeinated-sleepless-nights. But it's all managed now. My latest feat was incorporating the bbPress engine into the already designed theme. Usually bbPress only works for specifically designed themes. Next I design/build the Soccer League Management System. Which manages all the teams, leagues, players and scores. Doing all the simple math for the client and presenting the combined score and standing of a season. [edit: The client has since returned for updates]

Technologies used: WordPress, bbPress
Languages Used: HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript, PHP, MySql

KNGSTN
