Projects & Experience

For potential employers: my up-to-date résumé is available upon request.  Contact information is posted on my home page – or you can email me at chris@chrisdzombak.net.

Software Projects

This is an incomplete list of projects I have created or participated in.  For a current list, see my F/OSS code minisite: code.chrisdzombak.net.

  • Stuck: a PHP pastebin derived from the OSS project Stikked.
  • Geolocator-PHP: A PHP class which facilitates finding the physical location of an IP address or domain.
  • MagicTxt: An interface which lets users check the status (some of) the University of Michigan’s bus lines from cell phones (or email). It is currently in need of some maintenance and refactoring, but I have several more pressing projects at the moment.  Source code for a Magic Bus API/framework may be available at some point in the future.
  • TwitterOnAccess: This is a quick hack which grew out of a dinner conversation. Somebody noted that it would be cool if your Web page could notify you every time someone looked at it; I implemented it with Twitter.

Web Sites

I have developed many Web sites for various purposes. Some are insanely simple while others are fairly complex. The best (currently publicly available) example of my skills is probably Chris Dzombak Photography.
