TrexGlobal.com
This is my current job, and certainly the project I've contributed the most code to in my life. Founded by former Intuit VPs Pankaj Shukla and Narinder Sandhu, trexglobal.com aims to sell property management services to real estate investors of all sizes. This includes (and is not limited to) electronic rent payments, automatic rent tracking, spreadsheet-style totally customizable in-depth income and expense tracking for individual properties and units. Furthermore, incorporates a detailed suite of reports and automated tax form generation. Honestly, that doesn't even cover the half of everything the site can do. Expertly presented in truly modern Web 2.0 fashion - the site makes heavy but intelligent use of Javascript, Ajax, and COMET technology.
Dredder.com
Well, in terms of side-projects, this is what I've been spending my "20% time" on for several months. Basically, it's a site that instructs people how to make dreadlocks. Also, it's our sales venue for a machine (of our own design) which facilitates the creation of the dreadlocks themselves. Enjoy!
Mur.derlicio.us
This site is a beta release for now, mur.derlicio.us is a place where ruby programmers can test their skills by writing code that satisfy the requirements of ruby 'challenges'. The code is evaluated and scores are based on execution time and code length (shorter is better). This is a project i do totally in my free time, just for the good of the community, and somehting for bored ruby programmers to take a stab at.
Gary P Gilroy Publications
This is a custom eCommerce site done by me for GPGmusic.com. In this site I've also customized the shopping cart to make expandable and collapsing Ajax listing, as well as a full ajax mass mailer, and a full SQL site exclusivity management system. This ensures (for the bigger players in the music printing industry) that per site per concert no two bands will play the same music at the same competiton. With this site, GPG music has consolidated this data, their customer data, as well as readied themselves for their transition to being one of the most major players in their field. Job well done :) - contact Steve Martin -- steve ::at:: gpgmusic.com
ASU Bands Internal
Just finished writing/designing the new internal (members) site for Arizona State University bands. Although you can't really test it out yourselves (I only wrote the members-only section), you can check out the rest of the site! What I wrote is a customized Joomla CMS system specifically for the members of the band, such that Joomla would organize important band events, dates, and files and store them in a place all the members of the band could easily check-up on. This includes a customized calendar module for jooma which integrates with the regular ASU legacy calendar database (which I thought was pretty cool) - and also a FULLY customizable upload/download system for the members of the band, specifically so they could download new scores or forms as the instructor uploaded them, or even mp3 tracks!
YouForge
Youforge is an open-source, general purpose forge site written in Ruby on Rails. With it, you can turn your base application into a fully communally extended application – and this can be the power behind your community. With Youforge, software community building is made easy! The title will link you to the rubyforge community page, where you can download the latest source code and read the current documentation. This, of course, is only a precursor to my next project (or, my current project) the NEW Adhearsion.com - which will use youforge for a large part of adhearsion extensibility! A developer's best friend..
eSiteBid.com
Once again a new favorite! This is a scriptlance clone designated less for scripters only but for jobbers in general. This site uses Joomla as a framework, which i built the bidding interface on top of, in a series of new joomla components which I've written just for this site. I have also linked this site with google maps, so a user can literally choose their jobs from a satellite picture in the sky - check it out!!
