Craftsman/Kenmore/Diehard

During my time at Aisle Rocket Studios I worked with a team to design and develop the HTML, CSS, JavaScript for Craftsman.com, Kenmore.com and Diehard.com. These sites were built with Ruby on Rails.

Gladiator Tattoo Application

After I created the entire Gladiator GarageWorks Blog on WordPress, I developed a campaign to gain brand awareness called “GameChangers.” This application was a tattoo generator built as a WordPress plugin for a sweepstake. I used HTML, CSS, PHP, JavaScript to allow the user to upload a photo of themselves and place a tattoo on that photo. You could resize the uploaded photo and resize/rotate the tattoo. After completion, I sent the two images with their size/position information through JSON/AJAX to an image processing server, where it would compress them into a single photo. Once I received the processed image, I would save it to our server so the user would be able to download and share on social media platforms such as Facebook and Twitter.

Rocket Fuel News

“Rocket Fuel” was a WordPress plugin I created for Aisle Rocket Studios to give inspiration to their employees. It was a feed of websites that allowed the user to add their own inspirations. Simply after pasting the URL of an inspirational site, a PHP cURL scrapper that I developed would automatically pull the title, description, images, and tags. The user would then be able to edit this information to their liking. Once submitted, all employees would be able to see, comment on, and like each inspiration. Every week I used a Cron job to send an email to all employees that showcased the top/new “Rocket Fuel” entries of the previous week.

Illinois State University Biology Background

The biology website has four backgrounds of the Greenhouse at Illinois State University. During a sunny summer day, I was able to take photos of the greenhouse. Editing them in Photoshop, I made four unique backgrounds that fit the sites’ design. The background changes each time someone visits the site by adding a cookie.
