Community Design and Implementation


Initially my web responsibilities for Affiniscape revolved around not only designing our online conference website, but also the implementation of said conference through live teleconferences as well as sound design for the subsequent recordings.

This website later evolved into a legal career and practice development community. I oversaw and developed capabilities such as:
  • Client-side scripting and use of XHTML to customize style and appearance of web pages to partner specifications. [more]
  • Development of a "News Center" which uses Yahoo's Pipes service combined with JSON formatting to display content from various providers as a unified document. [more]
  • Development and implementation of an ad-management solution [more]
  • "Guerilla" use of client-side coding to implement new features based off existing server-side code. [more]
I was also involved--and continue to assist--in the design, implementation, and management of a legal placement agency website.

Hyperfictions
