During my term at Movie Goods (Layoff Due to Recession) I created a number of small utilities to automate lengthy tasks such as product inventory management, resulting in time savings as much as 90%.
I created a custom rewrite of an OS Commerce System so that it worked in a customized format treating movie titles as not only categories, but also products, and each individual poster style as a products rather than just an option (each with its own images).
I created many add on modules including a custom CCard payment gateway, bulk inventory uploader (200 lines of code as opposed to the 3100 lines of code used in the open source "Easy Populate" module), a custom module to control various coupons for discounts by individual item, bulk discount, $??.00 off purchase, and buy one get one coupons.
I also designed a custom module to control a new make an offer option where customers could haggle for a better price, a custom module for adding polls and questionnaires , modified the catalog for the ability to search by Title, Year, Cast or Genre, added custom routines to auto create 3 sizes of images in order to speed up product display. I custom optimizations on the databases and queries to improve search performance.

Created the complete custom Dark Knight site from there graphics department art renditions as well as custom modules for it like 3D browsing and purchasing.

Also a few other miscellaneous utilities and applications.

During my employment with SameDay Group I wrote a number of websites including SameDayGroup.com and BikersWorldUS.com both of which are doing very well especially in Google SERP where they have risen very quickly to prominence with many key searches finding them within the top 10 listings.

SameDayGroup.com boasts an online design center which I have written in PHP JavaScript MySQL. It allows customers to design custom business cards and view the results in real time.
It then communicates through Database and Email to supply artwork ready samples so the graphics department can easily move a job from design to production upon a quick phone confirmation to the customer. It is truly a WYSIWYG online application.

Biker's World US boasts a complete online catalog with an optional 3D scrolling view of there available motorcycle stock and other products and accessories. This same scrolling viewer is also optionally available for their members uploaded pictures.
