Yostivanich

I am full time Web Devel­oper with Loadsys and a grad­u­ate from Texas Tech Uni­ver­sitywith a Bach­e­lor of Sci­ence in Com­puter Science.

Here is a list of some of the most recent work that I have done. Oh and if you want have a look at my full resume (PDF) go right ahead.

CropInsight.com

CropIn­sight is the web appli­ca­tion end of Smart­field, where I most recently worked. CropIn­sight is a remote crop mon­i­tor­ing sys­tem using patents from the USDA to mea­sure and mon­i­tor plant stress. The sys­tem was built from the ground up using CakePHP, jQuery and Post­greSQL.

Secret Santa Webapp

Secret Santa is a small and sim­ple webapp that I built to scratch an itch and a need, for a sim­ple and basic Secret Santa sys­tem for my fam­ily. The project uses PHP­Mailer to send emails, Blue­print as a CSS frame­work and jQuery for a JavaScript frame­work. The remain­der of the code is all hand crafted by myself. You can read more about the project on my blog.

Redesign of Smartfield.com

Smart­field is where I recently worked and one of my first tasks was to update their mar­ket­ing site. The site is built on Word­Press and the theme is a cus­tom ver­sion of WPA Parade Theme. The work included redo­ing the site design to match what Smart­field had in mind, along with cus­tomiz­ing the site lay­out to pro­vide a more orga­nized struc­ture. Also the rota­tor used in the theme was dropped in favor of one that was eas­ier to customize.

Webmap+

Webmap+ is a Joomla! Com­po­nent using the Google Maps API and Joomla! frame­work to cre­ate a easy to use and highly cus­tomiz­able Joomla Component.

Respon­si­bil­i­ties: Admin­is­tra­tion MVC Archi­tec­ture, Social Media Mar­ket­ing and Cus­tomer Sup­port.  Tech­nolo­gies used to build Webmap+: PHP, Joomla! Frame­work, MooTools, MySQL, CSS, XHTML. Launched July 2009.

TTU Office of Inter­na­tional Affairs: Doc­u­ment Imag­ing Man­age­ment System

For my Senior Project Design class, our pro­fes­sor came to our group and asked us to build a sys­tem for the Office of Inter­na­tional Affairs (IAFF). They requested that we build a sys­tem to man­age scanned copies of Passport’s, VISA’s and other related doc­u­ments for inter­na­tional stu­dents, fac­ulty and staff.

Respon­si­bil­i­ties: Design and Archi­tec­ture Doc­u­ments, Data­base Design, Doc­u­ment Print­ing, Inte­gra­tion with Texas Tech’s sin­gle sign-on solu­tion (eRaider), Doc­u­ment Upload and Stor­age. Tech­nolo­gies used to build sys­tem: CakePHP, jQuery, PHP’s GD library, MySQL CSS, XHTML. Launched April 2009.

Soft­ware Engi­neer­ing: Vot­ing Project

For my Soft­ware Engi­neer­ing class, our pro­fes­sor requested that we build an e-voting sys­tem using Java.

Respon­si­bil­i­ties: Design and Archi­tec­ture Doc­u­ments, Data­base Design, Link­ing Use Cases to Java Classes. Tech­nolo­gies used to build sys­tem: Java, Swing, MySQL. Launched April 2009.

Rebuild of T-STEM Cen­ter Reg­is­tra­tion System

Reg­is­ter­ing teach­ers for work­shops, couldn’t be eas­ier, right? You would be wrong. The sheer amount of data required to be gath­ered for sta­tis­ti­cal analy­sis of the pro­gram (due to grant report­ing require­ments) requires a sys­tem that is very flex­i­ble in the type of data stored depend­ing upon very spe­cific deci­sions. The sys­tem also included a tiered admin side, with only cer­tain staff mem­bers being able to view cer­tain sub­sets of the infor­ma­tion stored. The admin­is­tra­tion side included the abil­ity to mark a teacher as paid or not, update their infor­ma­tion and pro­vided a break down of each work­shop and which had bro­ken even and which had not. A coupon sys­tem was included, that allowed for both straight dol­lar off or per­cent­age based reduc­tions in price. Screen­shots here of the sys­tem.

Respon­si­bil­i­ties: Web lay­out, data­base redesign and imple­men­ta­tion, inte­gra­tion and cre­ation of coupon sys­tem, inte­grated col­lec­tion of report­ing require­ments into web form, redesign of admin­is­tra­tion and report­ing inter­nal side, front end and back end cod­ing (PHP, MySQL, AJAX, CSS, XHTML). Orig­i­nal launch Sep­tem­ber 2006, relaunch Octo­ber 2008.

Seam­less Auto­mo­tive Tech­nol­ogy Pro­gram Page

One of the many part­ners of the T-STEM Cen­ter requested that we help out with their web strat­egy, this was the ini­tial work done to start this process.

Respon­si­bil­i­ties: Web lay­out, inte­gra­tion with CMS Engine, social media inte­gra­tion. Launched Sep­tem­ber 2008.

Inter­nal IT Equip­ment Check­out Appli­ca­tion and System

This one is an inter­nal appli­ca­tion for the T-STEM Cen­ter to rent IT Equip­ment. The sys­tem han­dled ensur­ing that equip­ment was avail­able to rent and enough time existed to turn around the equip­ment. This also laid a large por­tion of the ground­work for a pub­lic fac­ing sys­tem that was not com­pleted dur­ing my time at the T-STEM Center.

Respon­si­bil­i­ties: Creation/Implementation of data­base design, front and back end cod­ing (PHP, MySQL, AJAX, CSS, XHTML), JavaScript cal­en­dar inte­gra­tion, admin­is­tra­tion inter­nal side. Launched July 2008.

Hard­ware, Web Server and Data­base Switch from IIS/MS SQL to Apache/MySQL

Respon­si­bil­i­ties: Setup of server, instal­la­tion and opti­miza­tion of Apache and port­ing data­base schemes and code from MS SQL to MySQL. Occurred August 2008.
