Welcome to my e-resume! Please use this page to learn about my recent work.

In 2005, I launched Coindetector.com, a website for metal detecting enthusiasts. The website instantly became popular. Although activity has decreased in recent years, the web shop provides both revenue and traffic for the site.

I am constantly working on the site, improving the user interface of various applications based on user feedback, simplifying workflows, optimizing performance, and developing new features.

In December 2009 I joined Stuzo Group as a Senior Developer, focused on developing Facebook applications.

I started using TYPO3 in 2007 after deciding to use it for Phillyburbs.com. I designed the architecture to drive the dynamic news sites, and successully migrated Phillybubrs.com, Phillyedge.com, and Timesonline.com onto the platform.

My book TYPO3 4.3 Multimedia Cookbook is scheduled to be released in February 2010. It features over 50 recipes, covering a variety of tasks related to multimedia, and how they can be solved in TYPO3.

I've made several contributions to TYPO3 core, and even more to Digital Asset Manager (DAM) extension. You can also find a list of my publically released extensions on the TER.

NatureFoto.net is currently in development. The goal for the site is to be a community for professional photographers, who would eventually be able to sell their work through the site. Approximate launch date is summer of 2010.

In May of 2005 I joined the interactive media team at Dragonfire, a Drexel University initiated online magazine. Over the next two years the magazine grew in size and popularity, winning W3 awards, and reaching finals for 2006 Webby and 2006 EPpy. The magazine ceased to exist in 2007, and was replaced by The Smart Set.

In April 2007 I joined the PhillyBurbs tech team. My responsibilities included debugging, as well as coding some new functionality into the site. PhillyBurbs.com is an interactive division of Calkins Media, serving content from three local news papers. The site gets about 20 million monthly views.

After finishing up my internship, I stayed as a part time employee, working on a new Content Management System, soon after joining as a full time project manager.

From April to September 2005, I worked at Michael Baker Jr., in the Princeton, NJ office. My main responsibility was the FEMA Mapping Modernization Project - a multi-million contract with FEMA to update the flooding maps for the United States. I worked on verifying mapping changes, river hydrology, floodplains and floodlines, and more.

I have performed various services for the reserve as a volunteer, which included web design, presentations, scientific lab work, and much more. I represented the Reserve at several UNESCO events, including The World Heritage summit in 2004.

In 2003 I helped redesign Rodonit.com, and programmed the backend e-commerce application. Up until that point the site was purely informational. The new site became a hit in the Russian community of treasure hunters searching for metal detecting equipment. The site was redesigned again in 2007.

Russian Insects was the first e-commerce site I built. Initial site design and structure was set up in 1997. Since then, there have been two major redesigns. I still maintain the site to this day.

In 2004 I joined Russian Missions as a part time graphic designer. My responsibilities included newsletter design, special mailing designs, web design & programming, and general IT/computer help. I left Russian Missions in 2006 in order to join Michael Baker Jr. Inc.
