Projects

Koha Installation: For my final class during my masters, I decided to perform an installation of Koha, the open-source library management system. During this project I not only expanded my technological knowledge of web-based applications, servers and library management systems, but I developed the confidence to implement technology in a production environment.

codeykolasinski.com: I have created an online resume that is in progress. The resume is being created not only with custom HTML but also using the content management system Joomla! which is a common solution for library websites as it is extensible, easy to use and free.
