My Work

Rundown Creator
Rundown Creator is a web application I created to allow TV, radio, and internet broadcasters to collaboratively plan their shows. Clients include MLB.com, Revision3, Current TV, and San Diego State University. The application itself is written in HTML, Javascript, CSS, PHP, and MySQL. There's also a little XML and RTF sprinkled in too.




Order Management System
After launching Rundown Creator, I created a custom Order Management System to speed up order fulfillment. Before I had the OMS, setting up a new client took anywhere from 15 to 30 minutes. Now, it takes less than 30 seconds (that's 60 times faster!). In addition to setting up new customers, the OMS also keeps track of payments, sends automated e-mails, has a powerful search function, and generates daily reports so I know who I need to follow up with. It was written in HTML, Javascript, CSS, PHP, and MySQL. Oh, and no, those aren't actual customers in the screenshot above. I faked it to protect the privacy of my customers.




"Aztec News"
When I came to San Diego State University, the school didn't have a student-produced newscast. I changed that. Shortly after transferring there, I connected with an instructor in the journalism department. We developed a great friendship and ended up producing a newscast, called "Aztec News," once a semester as the final project for her class. Her students took care of all of the editorial stuff, and I, I took care of all of the technical stuff. Highlights include MacGyvering a TV news set with only $150, creating the news opens, and directing the newscast.




Revision3
While I was a junior at San Diego State, I had the opportunity to intern at Revision3 in San Francisco over the summer. It was a great experience. While I was there, I spent most of my time in the studio, and even directed a short-lived live Friday morning show, called "Workfast.TV."




KSBY-TV
I worked at KSBY-TV, the NBC affiliate in San Luis Obispo, for four years as a young adult. Three of them, I spent directing the station's weekday/weekend newscasts. For an 18-year-old kid who absolutely loved TV production, it was the coolest job in the world and a great learning experience too.
