Inforupcy
Inforuptcy required Ubercart integration with a payment gateway which had no existing solutions. Support for recurring payments was a critical component, and while available in the online interface, the payment gateway's API did not have support for such transactions. AS a temporary solution, I wrote an integration module which allowed Ubercart to accept payments via the gateway's online interface, by reverse engineering their form submissions and sending the necessary data via a series of POST requests.

Once the content is chosen, a newsletter template is automatically generated and sent to MailChimp, which can then me sent out as a newsletter.

I was responsible for all architecture, custom development, and some of the theming. I developed the subnode module specifically for this project.
Horizons Unlimited
Horizons Unlimited was initially a combination of multiple systems (Drupal 5, static pages, vBulletin, movable type) that was developed in-house over several years. My work included upgrading Drupal 5 to Drupal 6, upgrading vBulletin to the latest version, setting up custom theme integration between Drupal & vBulletin (partially documented in the issue queue for DrupalVB), fixing session & cookie issues between Drupal & vBulletin, merging external systems' functionality into Drupal, and eventually migrating all content & users (from both Drupal & vBulletin at the live site) into the upgraded version.

The MABC Map Search project involved creating an interactive map-based search using Google Maps and a Drupal backend. Users can search through mines by using various filters and sorting options in the drop down form, and the results are instantly displayed on the Google-powered map. I was responsible for all theming and development work. The front-end map & searching tools were all built entirely from scratch.
