Portfolio - Web
	Bay Nature Magazine Bay Nature is "An Exploration of Nature in the SF Bay Area". They've been one of my favorite magazines since they launched in 2001, and I connected with them to build a web version of their publication. I developed a custom (Plone-powered) content-management system and integrated several 3rd party apps and services including OpenAds, the Pleiades Geocoding engine, a robust Squid-based caching system, and a bespoke mapping application. I'm really pleased with the final product and look forward to visiting this site to find new places to explore and continue learning about the natural world around me.
	Great Communities Transit Collaborative The Great Communities Collaborative brings together residents and local organizations to participate in community planning processes across the San Francisco Bay Area. We want to create a region of vibrant neighborhoods with affordable housing, shops, jobs, and services within convenient walking distance near transit.
	Contra Costa Watershed Forum The Forum is an open committee of some fifty organizations, including state and local agencies, local non-profit environmental and education organizations, community volunteer groups, and private citizens. This site provides CCWF with both a public-facing web presence as well as secure intranet workspaces for their various committees.
	Sacramento River Watershed Portal The organizations working to understand, protect, and restore the Sacramento River needed a better way to collaborate and share information. We created an open source environmental library/portal web application under the GPL, implemented in Zope and MySQL. This project is bringing about a new way of thinking about sharing environmental information in a sustainable way.
