Wordpress Experience: For WordPress Multisite, created a custom signup system with a tabbed interface and integration with PHPlist. For custom WordPress Multisite installation, developed a dashboard widget that allowed a non-technical user to provision a user and blog with a simple (ajax-enabled) form. Developed under contract, a set of features for a major e-commerce plugin for the WordPress platform. In addition, I have completed several custom modifications of the same plugin for specific clients. Custom Database directory application for WordPress that captures the URL and generates a directory of merchants based on the location. The customer had been building one page for every locality. I replaced it with a plugin and single page. Developed Question & Answer application based on BBpress - Created two new BBpress plugins for Best Post and Useful Post voting and modified many others to add "views." Modified eCommerce Plugin - Added new method for calculating shipping charges. Modified CForms Plugin - Client needed images attached to a custom form to be resized on upload. NextGen Gallery for BuddyPress (WPMU) - Built on the work below to create a new application for BuddyPress. Brought user admin functions to the front of BuddyPress. Include various site-wide features. Intranet site for Silicon Valley BPO firm - Created plugin to integrate employee incentive program that showed balance in a sidebar and detailed transaction history. In Admin section, managers could add "coins" to employee's accounts from their budgeted allotment. Integrated PBwiki and two internal applications with WP user admin to create single-signon. Custom WordPress Multisite - Implemented so that customers could have their own due diligence site. Import Users Plugin - I offered an improvement to this authors plugin that he incorporated in the next release

Tom was a joy to talk to! Very friendly, knowledgable, and spoke in a way that a non-tech expert could understand. Would call again.

I am not a tech person, but I know what my site needs to accomplish. Tom quickly saw the essence of my project and helped me to strategize the next step to get my site designed. Great, broad knowledge of web development.

We all get into moments in time where ideas are stale, there is a dark cloud over us, and fifth graders are making fun of you because they are smarter than you. Well if you talk to Tom, the sun comes out, visions reinspired, and you become loved by all. Tom is THE MARKETING STRATEGIST behind the man. Furthermore, Tom is a great partner to do business with who has contributed a lot for us and I look forward to working with him again.
