Swapmeet
Swapmeet is a bartering application that lets students trade their goods for other students goods. I helped design and develop the project as part of a graduate course on Scalable Internet Services. Our team built a tiered web architecture using HAProxy, Apache/Passenger, Rails, memcached, and MySQL, and studied optimizations and scaling techniques for handling high load.

Just let Payback know and it will remember all the details for you! The site is designed with phones in mind, and looks great when you're on the go. Payback is developed in Rails and hosted on the Heroku Cedar stack. Get started today »

Sutro
Sutro is my take on the classic Rails blog, written for this site when I was getting started with the Ruby and Rails. The engine supports multiple permission levels for administrators and guest authors, markdown-formatted posts, and RSS feeds, wrapped in a clean and minimal interface.
Bruceb Consulting
I rebuilt Bruceb Consulting's website from scratch in order to reflect modern web standards in HTML/CSS and to create a clean, refreshed design. The new site is consistent with the theme established by the old site, and focuses on making navigation more simple and elegant. The redesign was done in tandem with an update to Bruceb's Wordpress blog in order to maintain consistency.
