The first website designed & built by WebPractical. The requirements called for a traditional, fixed-width centered, layout which included side bars for upcoming events and a class schedule.

This program was designed for editing the metadata of Advanced Systems Format containers used in Windows Media files (WMA, WMV).

Arugula was developed in 2013 because I could not find a metadata editor that supported the specific tags I wanted to use for my media library.

It has support for multiple values in fields such as artist, producer, composer, album and album art. It was built with C# and Visual Studio.

Some might think that including a college project in a portfolio is pretty lame. Normally I would agree but this project just cracks me up!

I built this program as part of a semester long team project for my software analysis & design course in the fall of 2014.

It's a beer vending machine that fictitiously serves Duff beer after verifying a customer's id and accepting payment. My team earned a perfect grade of 100 for the entire project. This program was written in Java.

Inspired by the classic film Scarface, I decided to build a dymanic theme for PlayStation 3. Upon completion, it was released to the public via PS3-Themes.

It features two red slid-in bars, a large fade-in image and Tony Montana firing off five rounds from his machine gun.

The firing effect was simulated with quick-fade muzzle and full-screen flashes accompanied by five bleeding bullet-holes that faded out over time. This theme was written in JavaScript and XML.

For Halloween 2015 I decided to upgrade our static prop, Scary Tex, to an animatronic one. A manual press-button trigger was used to activate a sequence that included jump-scare sound effects, blinking lights and erratic up and down motion.

Scary Tex was constructed with a ply-wood base and cabinet to hold a pair of speakers. A 2" PVC post was connected through the base to support a 1" PVC frame. His head was a hand-carved craft pumpkin.

A Monster Guts control board was used to activate the lights, sound effects and movement through a windshield wiper motor. Finally, he was dressed with an old sweater, faux fall garland and some tree branches.
