University Residences
As webmaster and web application developer for University Residences, my main roles were content management, graphic design, accessibility, polishing existing pages, integration of comment tracking system and working with developers to integrate a universal user interface between different applications.
One of my primary responsibilities has been to improve the overall look at feel of the UR website. Part of this also includes improving accessibility, compliance with web standards and the user experience.
In addition to serving as the user experience guru, I am also a php developer, working on projects such as an AJAX enabled export log that integrates with our subversion versioning system. I have also developed an integration method to tie our "comment on this page" functionality with our bug tracking system.
A very fun project I took on at University Residences was our search functionality. I developed a keywords system, which has an algorithm to in the future, after training, provide a combination of more relevant and more important results to the user. The main search functionality is being provided through the google web service API and templated with PHP's Smarty.
