Websites »
Since 1994 I have developed websites and applications for companies, organizations, friends, family, school, and my own personal enjoyment. This section features a small selection of my website work, from simple page designs to extensive sites with all of the bells and whistles. I code all of my websites directly by hand, although I have experience working with applications and IDEs such as NetBeans, Dreamweaver and HomeSite.
oldpecanstreetfestival.com
This was a small development job I did in collaboration with afcreativ.com. We did a complete redesign of their site, and I implemented a few new features, including setting up a custom WordPress implementation and tying in feeds from Google Docs, YouTube, and more.
bchillhomes.com
I designed and built this site for a friend, who is a general contractor and remodeler in Austin.
Premiere Global
As a web developer for Springbox, a fast-paced interactive agency in Austin, I was involved in the redesign and re-creation of Premiere Global’s main website, along with the development of a multitude of international sites. This site involved complex CSS and JavaScript.
1903 West 32nd
During the summer of 2008, my friends embarked on a project that involved remodeling and doubling the square footage of a home in the historic Brykerwoods neighborhood of Austin. I built a website that documents the project from start to finish. It is run on Wordpress.
ginnymin.net
The current version of my personal site and gallery has a black-and-white design (with a tint of red). It is entirely driven by XSLT with PHP in the back-end and JavaScript in the front-end. The content is pulled from RSS and XML feeds of various web applications and services I use.
ginnymin.net (version 1)
I was aiming for simplicity when putting together this design for my personal website. I built the site using PHP and Textpattern, which I modified to fit my needs.
Darden Health Care Club
The Darden Health Care Club, an MBA student organization, wanted a facelift for their website, so I created this website for them in ASP.
Crescent City and Brookings
TWDS’s clients wanted a “redwoods and beach” themed design created in Flash.
cvilleultimate.org
After discovering my love for ultimate frisbee, I became the webmaster for the Charlottesville Ultimate Disc Organization. I finished the site in two days and set up an online league registration system, integrating an online payment and donation using Paypal. In the past, registrations had been done via snail mail.
akdphialum.org
I finished this site three days after being selected as the webmaster for the National Alumnae Board of alpha Kappa Delta Phi Sorority, Inc. I created my own content management system to make the site easier to update.
Zeta Sigma Chi national website
The national board of Zeta Sigma Chi Multicultural Sorority, Inc. hired me to completely redesign their site.
ginnymin.com
This is the design you’re looking at right now. This version of my online portfolio uses Textpattern and pulls its content from a MySQL database.
The Condron Lab
Shortly after starting my job as a research scientist for the Condron Lab, I redesigned the lab website.
Imagination
This was my first design for this portfolio. I was about to put it up, when I thought of the current layout.
ginnymin : being
After months of battling designers’ block, I launched this for my personal site. It is still one of my favorites and marked a turning point in my philosophy towards web design and development. It featured fluid pages, random backgrounds, a templated system, and the theme “Being is Beautiful”.
Being, attempt #1
This was my first completed design based on my “being is beautiful” theme. It featured a fluid design and a template system, but this site never went live.
scottchong.com
Scott Chong, a participant in the third season of MTV’s “Tough Enough” reality TV show, asked me to create his fan site.
dorothychan.com
Dorothy Chan is a Charlottesville artist that specializes in Chinese brush paintings. This site has an aesthetic appeal, in part due to the beautiful paintings!
Castles in the Sky #3
This site has a fixed, centered interface and utilizes Perl and JavaScript. This site dates itself with its use of inline frames, but it still works!
Multicultural Greek Council
While serving as Historian for the Multicultural Greek Council at UVA, I had the privilege of creating MGC’s very first website. The graphical layout is very unique and features some complicated Flash scripting.
The Other Side
I created this site for a class project, exploring the topic of self-segregation among Asian-Americans at UVA. The site combines a lot of interactive features and a 3D rotating logo.
Castles in the Sky #1
This was the debut of my “Castles in the Sky” theme. The design was inspired by an intriguing photo of a castle and a graphical masking technique that I had just discovered.
