Web Reminder

Firefox Extension to improve productivity by setting reminders for time-wasting web sites. Reminders help you realize how much time you spend at certain sites.

YouTube Tunes

Very simple Greasemonkey script to make finding music videos on YouTube easier. This adds a search button that filters out live versions, covers, Guitar Hero performances, and more.

NFL Pick'em

Web app I created for a friend who was running a NFL pool. My technical goal was to have all actions (except for the live updates) done on the client side.

March Madness

Web app I ran for several years to learn about PHP/MySQL. Luckily, there was no cover jinx for Celtics star, "Air Intangibles" Brian Scalabrine.

I'm a Web Developer and Software Engineer from Boston, MA. My professional experience so far has been focused on developing database-driven, web applications using Python, PHP, MySQL, JavaScript, and HTML/CSS.

In my free time I enjoy the usual: TV, movies, music, and selling propane and propane accessories. I also like Boston sports, comedy, bike riding, traveling, and a lot more.

At this site I've included some of the projects I've done to learn different web technologies. I think it's a lot easier to learn technical skills through practical applications instead of rote memorization. I've also included links that have made developing easier for me. If you're not a web developer, they might be useful if you're having trouble getting to sleep.
