Over the past few years, I’ve had the pleasure of working with several government departments to provide web development and programming services. Below are a few samples of key projects.

Another PHP powered web search tool written for Natural Resources Canada (NRCAN), the tool allows staff throughout the country to search for knowledge assets, photos, illustrations and technical documents. The web tool uses PHP to connect to a FileMaker Pro database server through an XML interface. As with all government projects, this one uses strict xHTML and CSS to ensure compatibility.

Developed for the Minister of Natural Resources, the Briefing Notes database was created to allow easy access and search tools for sensitive materials throughout the organization. Each document was automatically indexed and uploaded to a FileMaker Pro database which in turn linked to web based search tool. Included in the tool was document versioning control to track multiple versions of the same document and commenting, so additional feedback could be provided.

The POOL database was created for the Central Experimental Farm of Agriculture and AgriFood Canada to provide genetic oat data for scientists throughout Canada. Using PHP with a MySQL database, the oat data provided scientists with the ability to link related research and increase the speed materials became available to other research scientists.
