Have a look at some of the web projects I've worked on.
Skills: PHP, MySQL, CSS, Javascript, Facebook API, Design
Description: This is my personal project where I develop games and social applications for the Facebook platform. Check out Pop Answers (screenshot) for an idea of what I'm capable of.
Skills: PHP, Javascript, CSS, Twitter API, Kohana PHP framework, Design
Description: I created this web application that allows Twitter users to prune their list of Twitter friends and followers in a few different ways. The project is one of the most complex applications I've built, and yet it's ridiculously simple to use. Also check out Tweep Tycoon, a Twitter game I built that shares some of the same code and design.
Skills: CSS, Design
Description: I designed the one-page home for the Blueprint CSS framework, which includes links to all the resources relevant to the project as well as examples of the framework in use. This was a "community effort" in that I shared each iteration of the design with the community and used their feedback to influence the final design.

Skills: CSS, Javascript, jQuery, Design
Description: I created this layout editor as a combination of the Blueprint CSS Framework and the jQuery Javascript library to demonstrate that semantic & clean CSS layouts really can be built from software tools.

Skills: CSS, PHP, Wordpress, Design, Facebook Development
Description: I created this custom blog design using stock images. I also built a Facebook application as a companion to the site.

Skills: CSS, Wordpress
Description: I created this website for a student organization using Wordpress as the content manager. The design was provided to me by one of the members of the organization.

Skills: CSS, Design, PHP, Wordpress
Description: I created this custom blog design based on some images purchased from iStockPhoto.

Skills: CSS, Design, PHP, Smarty, Logo design
Description: I worked as the lead UI designer for this startup in the summer of 2007. My responsibility was to mockup interfaces and build out the first version of this site, which was launched shortly after I left.

Skills: PHP, MySQL, CSS, Design, Simplepie
Description: This was the first web application I built, a feed-reading application based on Simplepie that allows anyone to sign up and use it. Features include cookie- & session-based login with password reminders via e-mail, user account management with adding & deleting feeds, and public feed-viewing pages with multiple options.

Skills: Design, CSS, Javascript, PHP
Description: I created a one-page site for my design to CSS business, in which I took mockups from clients and developed CSS-based site designs, and usually integrated those designs with their sites as well. This one-pager included an AJAX contact form with spam protection so that visitors could contact me for work. During the time that I ran this business, I had a good number of clients with projects of all sizes.

Skills: Design, CSS, Wordpress development
Description: I built a site for giving away free themes for the social network Virb. The site was managed with Wordpress and during the time that I ran the site, I developed three themes for users to download which were all based on open source website templates.

Skills: Design, CSS, PHP
Description: I designed and coded my own original theme for this Wordpress-based site.

Skills: Design, CSS
Description: The Engineering Student Council at Cornell University needed a quick one-page site for their 2007 Diversity Dinner. They provided me with a logo and copy and I did the rest.

Skills: Design, CSS, PHP
Description: The previous Engineering Student Council website was a mess of ASP pages that required editing via FTP for updating. I rebuilt the entire website to run on the Wordpress CMS and heavily updated the design. I then taught the organization's president to make updates to the website on her own with her web browser. Ever since the new site was launched it has been much easier for the organization to use.
