I moved to Ontario from British Columbia in July of 2002 to
work for Linkonlearning. I had spent a considerable amount
of time in 2000 - 2002 developing for Web Applications, and Linkonlearning was the next step in complexity. It utilizes C# .NET, XML and Flash MX to deliver dynamic content. I developed the graphics and overall appearance for all aspects of Linkonlearning's web site and administrative tools.

I created the web pages and edited / provided copy for and helped build the Flash website. I worked with a Flash programmer to build the animations and multilayered responsiveness in it. I then worked with a team to build the administrative area where parents and teachers monitored the students progress.

Once that was complete I ported the content out of XML / Flash and built the HTML website. Since then I have been working for the last year and a half on Linkonlearning's newest public, classroom, educator, parent and administration areas.

During this time I have produced:

· Single page ads / Brochures
· PDF toolkits for teachers and parents
· Manuals for Linkonlearning's website and tools
· Business plans and proposals (with a team)
· MS PowerPoint presentations
· MS Visio Diagrams
· E-mail promotions
· Press Releases
· CD promotions
· Mockups for job bids

I work extensively with the Chief Technology Officer to maintain the Domain. He comes from a Mainframe background and has a very sophisticated understanding of systems architecture. I have learned a substantial amount under his tutelage.

Software I work with includes :

· MS Windows 2000 Server
· IIS Web Servers on MS Windows 2000 / 2003 Servers
· MS ISA Server, DNS, and TCP/IP setup for IIS
· MS Exchange Server
· MS SQL Server
· MS Visual SourceSafe / Visual Studio

Hardware I work with includes :

· Domain Controller
· Web Servers
· Workstations
· Print and Fax Servers
· Backup Servers
· switches, routers, hubs and cabling

From late 2002 to mid 2004 I provided technical support for clients via email and phone. In early 2003 I was responsible for a team of sound and content editors. They created content that conformed to Ontario Educational Curriculum. I oversaw their tasks and generated / edited data myself.

Geocortex Compass
2002 - Internet Mapping Help System

This page relies on a combination of Javascript, CSS, and HTML to present information dynamically depending on user input. The help recipient simply chooses the button that gives them problem, and a description pops up in the text box. Underneath this text box, the button will take them to their area of interest in the more detailed help documentation. The map function button also features a dropdown menu that allows for information on the more specific tool functionality it provides.

This product is also scalable. The clients of the internet maps this serves as a help for often require proprietary tools for their map, and these are easily added or removed from the help system, making it highly customizable.


Core Services Review
2002 - Web-based Project Management Software

At TransitionalMedia, I worked with a local consulting firm on this project. The product is a system of accountability for project managers in the upper echelons of the British Columbia Government. It will allow easy monitoring of the success of the ministries undertakings.

This product is not accessible to the public.


Adaptive Management Trainer
2002 - CD Trainer for British Columbia Ministry of Forests

This product is used by the Ministry of Forests to teach students, forestry managers and scientists to utilize software that emulates forest management decisions and then provides hypothetical results. I built the majority of this product.

This product is currently only accessible by the Ministry of Forests.





Forest Health for Silviculture Surveyors
2001 - Online Course for British Columbia Ministry of Forests

This project I developed as part of a team with Latitude Geographics and TransitionalMedia. We developed a training course for Forest Health for Silviculture Surveyors. This course is designed to aid students in preparing for their Silviculture Surveyors accreditation process. It delivers information which replicates classroom sessions and prepares students for their accreditation exam. Our course helps the Ministry deliver more efficient and cost effective training. I built the majority of this product.

This product is currently only accessible by the Ministry of Forests.

BC Hydro Surveyor Training Site
2001 - Educational Site

Bathymetry.ca was a product I developed with Latitude Geographics. It is an educational website developed for BC Hydro. It serves as a reference for bathymetric lake mapping,
a process where GPS (global positioning system) and related technologies are used to map the bottom of lakes. While Latitude developed the content for the site I formatted and compressed images and laid out the information in an easy to follow manner.

I had been working with Latitude for some time creating mastheads, buttons, and other images for their Internet Mapping products by this time. Bathymetry.ca was my first chance to develop the structure of an educational site, and I am quite pleased with the results. The site is easily navigable both through dropdown and side navigation, and all of the pages are coherently updatable through a template and a series of library items.

1999 - 2000 - Tourist Information Resource

I worked on VancouverIsland.com in 1999. It was the first mega-project I ever worked on. I created over 450 pages and filled them with content. This was my first experience using many of the advanced features in Macromedia Dreamweaver. VancouverIsland.com is a huge site with thousands of different pages in many different categories.

I created many advertising banners for clients of this site. In addition to that I did high resolution slide scanning with color correction and image repair on the hundreds of phenomenal images in the photo gallery and throughout the site. This was also the first database I ever worked on. I worked on VancouverIsland.com for a year, and during this time it grew from a concept into the amazing resource you see today.

http://www.BritishColumbia.com
2000 - Tourist Information Resource

BritishColumbia.com is the offspring of VancouverIsland.com. This site uses sophisticated database integration to draw content from a vast pool of information. I transferred static content to a database and creating Active Server Pages to call the information, formatted and color corrected pictures, made graphics for special events, and created banner ads for advertising by clients.
