Aside from being a full time student, I am currently envolved with many programming projects. Some examples of these are listed below.
Raingauge Network
Provided for the Iowa Institute of Hydraulic Research. This is an elaborate webpage, where data is collected from over thirty locations around the Iowa City area, and is dynamically graphed. My involvement in the project involved parsing the input text files, loading them into a database, then dynamically graphing the information using third party software. This system also utilizes a caching mechanism, so frequently requested graphs such as daily or monthly rain rates are loading quickly.

Provided for the surDiak Corperation. This site is home to a fantasy sports game surrounding waterskiing. My involvement in this project involved complete design of database, from the ground up. This includes all scripts interacting with the database. Users of the site can register, select team members, and then recieve points based on live tournaments. All professional skiers are in the database, as well as scores for each tournament. Note that I did not create layout or design of this page.

Provided for Chicago, IL based actor Chad Kodiak. This site provides information of upcoming performances that Chad will be involved with. It also contains a mailing list, where over 1000 members can be mailed via a PHP script. Database contains information on all performances, as well as all mailing list members.

Many projects are not accessible to non-authenticated users of the internet. One such project is involves pulling information from a remote server, then parsing and storing this information. I created a PHP script that is ran from the command line, and is executed every 5 minues via a cron job. This script looks at a remote log file, then downloads all new files.
Another project is for Peaches Boutique, a major dress store located in Chicago, IL. I created an inventory, authentication, and timeclock system for employees. Peaches does not sell the same dress to the same event, so the inventory system provides information about which dresses are sold to which events, and can be easily searched on a number of criteria.
