I’ve been longing for a place to store a few of the noteworthy projects I’ve had a hand in. I’m glad I finally took the time to develop a stand-alone digital portfolio.

I decided to add photos and art to my portfolio as well. I have several framed drawings and paintings that I’ve done, but getting them to a digital format will be challenging (mostly because I’m too lazy to do it). So, don’t expect too many artsy entries, it will be mostly photographs.

This application is a RESTful design and built using Ruby on Rails. I’m using jQuery instead of the standard prototype/script.aculo.us in which all the Rails helpers are built upon.

And as for the grunge look with the paint splatters and coffee stains, who knows. I tried something new and just ran with it. Overall, I think it turned out pretty good.
