Nick Dunkman

I recently moved to NYC to pursue my passion for web development. I'm also a slow-pitch softball player, a diehard St. Louis Cardinals fan, and I live with Summer. I'm currently accepting new freelance work, so feel free to contact me at nickdunkmanblah@blahgmail.com if you're looking for help.
PORTFOLIO
College Humor

I am having a blast working as a senior web developer for Connected Ventures, which is a small company in New York City that operates CollegeHumor, BustedTees, and Vimeo.

My favorite project thus far was a pretty innovative custom cron system that I developed to handle all of our cron jobs. It allows us to schedule cron jobs on our entire server cluster with subversion alone, monitor cron job progress and history with a web interface, and does load balancing for all of our cron jobs across several servers.
Feed Hole

A new site that was started by a good friend of mine, Casey Pugh. I joined on a few months later, and we're getting close to taking it public. If you use rss feeds at all, you should sign up and check it out.

Basically, it's a feed reader, which offers all of the same functionality that other popular sites offer, such as extensive feed organization, feed history, and link previews. But it has a slick, fun to use interface, and we've thrown a social layer on top. Users can check out what their friends are reading and share their favorite new articles with others.
The Student

A student-run site at Wake Forest University. This site gets about 25,000 hits a day from a campus of only 4,500 undergrads.

Along with two other developers, I created a portal-style backend which supports a hierarchical staff of 30 students, and drives the content of a scaleable-content frontend. We also gave the frontend a complete facelift.
None yet.
