ThinkUp is an installable web app that collects and organizes replies to your conversations on Twitter and Facebook. Ruthie has cleaned up Smarty template files, rewritten HTML to pass validation, moved CSS into external stylesheets, and set up a system to handle future front-end code changes. She also wrote or adapted large portions of the project style guide.

Ruthie's presentation was exceptionally cogent and useful. Exactly what I wanted to know, presented in a way that was interesting and pleasant.

After noticing that there was no user group in the Boston area for ExpressionEngine CMS users and administrators, Ruthie started one. As of July 2010, the BostonEErs have over 60 members. Each month, Ruthie schedules and holds a meetup at which she either presents or facilitates a discussion around that month's topic.

Gracombe IT works primarily with foundations and private charities. I've subcontracted on a string of successful projects for Gracombe IT's clients.

In this part-time position, I maintain, support, and extend the capabilities of GLAD.org. In addition to daily maintenance, I have written event registration, donation, and online raffle tools in PHP/MySQL, and have also designed the occasional HTML email. I am currently refactoring the front-end codebase.
