In 1996, I built a website as a collection of HTML pages. (check the wayback machine). In Spring of 1999, a custom-built ecommerce shopping cart application using PERL CGI was added. This application is based loosely on the design of AllCommerce, a software application designed by Rob Ferber, one of the founders of Etoys.
In 2003, the warehouse software was replaced by a custom PERL CGI application. The warehouse application handles all aspects of fulfillment including inventory management, customer management and customer communications.
A custom-built bulk mailing application was added in June 2004. Dharma Trading Co. currently sends over 800,000 opt-in marketing emails per month via AWS SES.
In 2014, I built a PERL/CGI application to help manage overseas production for Escama Studio. This application featured a bilingual interface, supporting English and Spanish. This software continues to help manage production in Brazil.
In 2013, I facilitated a workshop for elementary school students. Enrollment was open to any student in the district grade four or above. To gain interest, I offered to include details about setting up a Minecraft server, which was very exciting for the target audience. Course materials are available here.
Gleans.org is a work in progress as of March 2023. This application will provide logistical support for surplus food gleaning and distribution. This is a not-for-profit, public-benefit personal project.
For as long as I can remember, I've carried a copy of The Tao Te Ching in my backpack. The book is a gift from my step-father, received when I was a young adult. On breaks from work, I turn to a random page and read the chapter that presents itself. I like to use the content of the Tao when I experiment with new technology. Below are some examples:
