Examples

Reporting

Built an application for a hospital that was used to insert incident reports and calculate customized graphs and text to display sums, percentages and detailed statistics for many different categories, it consisted of a PHP interface that was used to input incidents as they happened, later converted to ASP.net to rule out asp and php running on their servers. The reporting portion was originally done in Crystal Reports but later ported out to Microsoft SQL Reporting Services because the parameterized inputs for Crystal Reports were not user friendly enough or extensible enough.

Administration

A checklist application for a hospital for preceptors to train preceptees to become registered nurses. Including advanced hierarchical customized reports that could be filled out and access restrictions based on what was allowed to be filled out. Portions of the application were available to different levels of user including but not limited to the User Administration, Form Administration, Assignment Viewer and Validation Viewer.

Interface

IRCam, originally attempted to be an IRC client that supported images and embedded content like most messengers out nowadays (Images, Sounds, Games, Environments). It ended up including webcam support, which became a very cornerstone feature that was eventually suggested to become part of the name of the application. Dynamic configurations and plugin architecture really make this a simple application to extend.

Network

XServe, a pluggable host application that interacts with a hierarchy of plugins, one plugin named System.Net.IRC.Service would connect to a protocol 10 IRC server and act as an implemented service that would introduce “bots” that were also introduced to the application as individual child plugins interacting with the original service plugin, including maintenance, administration and entertainment examples.

Web

Expanstore, the foundation for creating a multi-manufacturer store that allowed administration of unique products, with features ranging from specifications (allowing shoes to be compared by sizes, prices, type (low top, high top, sandals), etc) to attribute formulas, allowing a incredibly easy way to specify and apply attributes to products to alter the price, quantity, specifications or other options (eg. size.xxl could be :price: + 5). All built in pure PHP and MySQL.

Graphics / Math

RPGER - 2D perspective dynamic height mapped isometric engine with a parent-child style message system based GUI, all running under a 3D API for fastest possible performance, sprite and particle based animations, input through an SDL wrapper. OCTree for collision detection allowing even a tiny high velocity bullet to impact into another simulated bullet.

Ruby

Syncitol - Delivered in pill form! This application would connect to google calendar and contacts web services API as well as Remember The Milk web service API to collect all of my events, contacts and tasks then synchronize them with Microsoft Outlook using Win32 OLE so my Palm Treo phone could Hotsync them there.

Multimedia

Mediabrary - A tool to index diverse types of media from movies to telivision shows to digital camera pictures. People called it 'Nick Flicks' because it reminded them of the netflix interface. The backend however would scrape many providers, TheMovieDatabase, TheTVDatabase, RottenTomatoes, OFDB, Freebase, TVRage and on to collect information on what you have in your library. Then make suggestions for naming convensions and rip formats and report what you don't have or similar items to a given entry among many many other things.

Well, since you've made it this far, you may be interested in some more demonstrations of the many applications and tests and drawings and whatever else is in this junk drawer of images.
