portfolio - Powel-MiniMax, Inc.
Powel Group started as the North American subsidiary of Powel ASA, a Norwegian-based software company; Powel Group merged with Minimax in January 2005 to form Powel-Minimax, Inc. We used services work to get established in the North American market. To that end, my main assignment with Powel Group (and later Powel-MiniMax) was as a contractor to Alameda P&T, where I served as Web Producer.
My first assignment was to rebuild Alameda P&T's site. This original site, www.alamedapt.com was entirely static. As time went on, I added additional features, written in PHP and running off a mySQL database that I designed. These features include online cable TV and Internet service ordering (www.alamedapt.com/telecom_order), customer feedback (www.alamedapt.com/customerservice/feedback/), a rate and review TV shows and movies feature (www.alamedapt.com/cabletv/reviews), and an Intranet site to provide Alameda P&T staff with administrative interfaces to these features. For these features, I was the sole database architect and developer.
Subsequently, we created a website for Alameda P&T's public access station, Alameda TV (www.alamedatv.org). This site is entirely static. I also served as the author for (most of) the Monster Island Theater Recipes.
Before the merger with Minimax, I was also responsible for building and maintaining the website for Powel Group (representative pages here). This also was an entirely static site.
