Current projects

I'm working on two major projects in PHP: An XML-parser and tag-library system. The intention is to allow separation of layout, content, and logic with pseudo-stylesheets and tags which run PHP functions. An object library which provides an abstraction layer between PHP programs and any database or information source. Basically program objects like "users," "pages," etc. are represented as high-level objects, which encapsulate the handling of information retrieval, storage, and relationships.

I've been put in charge of the LBJ National Honor Society web site. It incorporates PHP/MySQL capabilities to provide calendaring, membership data tracking, and all sorts of fun stuff. I'm still working on it.

The LBJ Band website underwent a much-needed facelift last year. I'm working with David Waldo to redo it in PHP, with a complete content-management system.

Designing the layout of eWish was my first real job. They're a wishlist ASP and search engine. The graphics have been redone since I left.

About me

The important stuff:
I am half hopelessly romantic idealist, half confirmed cynic. I love logical arguments. I love theology and philosophy. I enjoy music, art, and writing. I read Suck, Wired, and Slashdot every day. Call me a Renaissance nerd.

The mundane stuff:
I am a freshman at the Universite of Texas at Austin. I was born the brief gasp of 17 years ago. I have brown hair and brownish eyes.
