The Baker Street Irregulars
2011 work. Implements
HTML5 Boilerplate, PHP includes, jQuery, AJAX, hand-crafted modals, CSS3 animation, webfonts, social media links, hand-created back-end PHP email signup, and an alternative interface for small screen devices. Design and implementation are all my own.
ClickEats 2011 unreleased work in progress: redesign of ClickEats.com portal. Click image to view more UI design mockups I have largely implemented, working with version-controlled files featuring complex interactions of multiple JSP, CSS and javascript includes.
Nibbana Thai
2009 work. Original, striking design based on logo and photos provided by client. Website is now closed.
Cafe Ori
2010 work. Clean layout including database-generated, scrollable menu.
Shorinji Kempo Seattle Branch
Implemented 2003;
not a table-based layout. Maintained through 2007.
All content, functionality and implementation my own. Last version done in XHTML 1.0-transitional with CSS and
some javascript, including a javascript-powered photo gallery of my own device.
PHP auto-generated gallery
2010 PHP/jQuery self-study exercise accomplished with about 20 lines of XHTML and ten each of CSS, jQuery and PHP. Simplistic, but the envisioned v.2 would add PHP-driven image resizing for automated thumbnail generation, and a form for uploading and naming new galleries.
