SPENCERBROWNPHOTO.COM (re-)launched!

My latest web project, the relaunch of professional photographer Spencer Brown's website, has just gone live! Built on the wonderful Radiant CMS with a bunch of extensions. I heavily relied on the gallery extension by Andrea Franz. Great work, man! The design is pretty sleak, too. Have a look!

Knowyourride.com launched!

Long time, no post. I finally took the time and launched a little web project of my own - a rails-based VIN (Vehicle Identification Numbers) decipher for vintage US muscle cars. Just got tired of looking up codes in list scattered across the Internet. Support for makes is limited right now (Chevy only but who cares about Ford anyway?) but you should definitely still check it out.

Darkly Absurd website (re-)launched!

My latest web project, the relaunch of author and musician St. James' website, has just gone live! Aside from the typical biography-type content we put up quite a lot of samples of St. James' work - novel excerpts, poems short stories, and several songs as well. I'm very excited about the site and feel like this is one of the nicest designs I've come up with so far. Have a look!

Faculty Performance Evaluation Concept

I developed a Faculty Performance Evaluation Concept for the Faculty Evaluation Committee of the Monterey Institute of International Studies. The concept examines the Institute's strategic plan and derives objectives for Faculty from the findings. It then develops a framework for evaluating faculty's success in reaching those objectives and ties achievement to Merit Payment, a bonus payment for high-performing faculty members. Download file.

Market Entry Strategies for Zenoss

Zenoss Inc., an Annapolis, MD based open source software firm, was looking for attractive markets to expand into with their Enterprise IT Management offerings. A student team from the Monterey Institute of International Studies, including myself, analyzed potential target markets and developed entry strategies. This is our capstone project and master thesis equivalent. Since the final report contains sensitive company information I only attached the document structure. Download file.

Market Entry Strategies for AOL

Subtitled "An analysis of AOL Germany's possibilities to enter new markets by opening up selected products" is at the same time consulting project for AOL and my undergraduate thesis on market entry and product strategies. I looked at possibilities for un-bundling marketable premium services (e.g. parental controls) from the "AOL Membership", an umbrella subscription. Since it was written for AOL and contains sensitive company information I only attached the structure and introduction. Download file.
