Design and development of various intranet and web sites using HTML, XHTML, CSS, JavaScript, PHP, Perl/CGI, Velocity and other coding technologies.
Some examples of my work include the web sites below. Note that I initiated some pages, sites, and scripts in
the past and still currently develop them. I initiated and completed the development of other pages
and sites in spite of the initiation date (some "newer" pages are complete while some "older"
are not and vice versa). Some web pages, sites, and scripts are not listed due to being parts of secure
intranets or because they contain confidential information that requires authentication.
NOTE: Web sites can change over time. Some of the sites below, while piloted, modified, or developed by me, may have changed from my original authorship* if I am no longer the primary author*.
