With the need for extensibility and a quick turnaround, we used Wordpress as a CMS to assist with all of the necessary features that are necessary. These include and not limited to, User Registration, Online Media, (Video Lectures, PPT presentations, Slideshows etc), the ability to charge for subscription, user levels, and customizable templates for novice end users. Along with the plugins that I installed and customized, there are many customizations with JS, PHP, and HTML5/CSS3 to accomplish a smooth, interesting and functional site. Many PHP conditionals and basic functions added to contribute to a smooth and dynamic site. I created custom PHP widgets and widget settings for different template pages. HTML5/ CSS3 / JS were used forcustomizations for menu, advertising cycles, user tracking and click mapping, AJAX processing of forms, special form checking and redirects. . The goal of this site is to allow for worldwide access to this information, and be able to monetize the usage of its learning materials. Eventually they would like to become a hub for reconstructive surgery information and resources. Show less

As each item had to be scrutinized by technical assessment and fit within our procedure of development and testing, this was a necessary step to include all teams on the production, development, and release of requests. - Initially created as a forum for developers and QA, I and my development team, formalized this session to regularly check off every request and its progress especially compared to the progress of the entire release 'train.' - As producer within the 'WebTac' department, I received requests from different teams, performed technical assessment, project meetings etc, developed, and walked through each code change all the way through our QA cycles until this was successfully pushed to production. Typically I handled 6-10 of the 20 requests per week. During this time I was lead developer for several major projects, as well as many smaller projects. - OAS 6.2 (online AD delivery system). I was the lead developer for the implementation of our dynamic ad system, which is incorporated throughout all of the sites. I provided technical assessment, development and coordination with other development teams, implementation, testing procedures, and ultimate delivery to production. - I maintained the ad updates to our pages directly with the Media Operations manager. This system has fostered over $65 million dollars in 2006 in revenue, on over 2 million pages views per day. http://my.netzero.net/s/sp - Web Registration overhaul.
