Building Huge Carriage Style Doors

On the rear of our barn, I left an 8×8 hole to provide rear access. At the time, I wasn’t sure whether I wanted to put an overhead door there, or something else. Ironically, that access has been blocked by a false wall I put in that provided no access at all. Over the course…




MCM Electronics Website Front-End

As MCM Electronics went to a new web platform in 2011, I was in charge of implementing a new front-end. All XHTML and CSS was custom written and integrated into the .NET C# back-end. jQuery was used as the javascript library of choice. Since, the website has undergone many front-end changes that I’ve implemented. Nearly…




Raspberry Pi Illustrations

As part of the marketing materials created for various Raspberry Pi computer models, I created several 3/4 illustrations, which were used in various banners and displays.




Build a PVC Planter

We were at the local hardware store, buying some flowers and gardening supplies. Mrs. Moist thought a large planter would look great in between our garage doors in our driveway. They have large ceramic planters available, but nothing that quite fit our style. So we’re off on a project – to build a planter just…




Plastic and Plexiglass Bender on a Budget

They needed a solution to allow their field techs to easily replenish their trucks after making a repair. I created a robust mobile web application written in PHP…




Family Vacation Video Recap – 2015

I thought it would be a great keepsake to film a video of our family vacation to the Outer Banks – something that could live on after the memories fade. I brought my Nikon D3300, GoPro, and iPhone along to record as much as I could, and at the end of the week, edited it…




MCM Electronics Raspberry Pi Kit Designs

I got the opportunity to work as part of a small team at MCM on taking the extremely famous Raspberry Pi board – a lower-margin product – and developing an offering of kits around it. The Pi itself is an amazing thing; a credit card sized computer which costs only $35. What sets it apart…




Johnstone Supply Store Homepage

I was contracted by Johnstone Supply to create a webpage that they could roll out to their stores as a dedicated homepage for their counter computers. The page was comprised of useful links, as well as forms that pointed to their various tools and part searches. It provided a one-stop shop for all of the…




Fantech Part Finder

Johnstone Supply needed a way for their users to find parts based off attributes of a shell drive. I created a small web application using PHP and MySQL that allowed the user to select attributes, which returned all applicable parts to their query. This tool is currently being used on the Johnstone website. Visit Application
