Personal Projects

estrip.org

Conceptualized, designed and coded estrip.org, a free Buffalo, NY community web site with over 230 registered users and over 30,000 journal entries written. This digital public space brings local residents together by allowing them to share their local experience within the data structures of the site. Users can embed text, sound, animation, and video without having any web programming experience and without using commercial software.
Some site features over time include/d:

Surebert.com

Paul Visco's Surebertâ„¢ is a complete solution for developing highly interactive javascript/php based applications. Surebert handles most of the inconsistencies between the major browsing platforms (IE, firefox and Safari) allowing the programmer to concentrate on what they want to accomplish instead of the tedious labor of how to make their code work in all the browsers. Surebert's style of javascripting encourages a clean separation of content, design and interactive scripting - making script upkeep, sharing, and debugging easier to handle. Surebert has been continuously developed and tested since September of 2004.

Public Transphere

Assisted Arzu Ozkal - Developed a real-time software solution including graphic design and data processing for a web-based vehicle tracking system. The system also streamed live audio from a vehicle to a web site. This project was carried out using PHP, MySQL, AJAX, XML, and D/HTML. While this seems ordinary now with the advent of popular mobile web, it was much more radical in 2005.
