Kalkomey Enterprises, Inc. asked me to assist in
developing their online test registration application,
used by state governments to allow students to register
for proctored exams. I designed
separate student, teacher, and state administrator
interfaces, covering a wide range of functionality.
Kalkomey's event registration application is still the most
popular application of its kind.

Beautiful Efficiency.
Kalkomey’s event registration application had two
major requirements: it had to be easy to use, and
it had to be fast. That meant minimal use of
extraenous graphics and effects. I combined
judicious use of icon graphics, advanced
web typography and CSS tricks to create
a fast-loading, beautiful user interface.
While coding the app, I made extensive use of
JavaScript and Ajax techniques to dynamically
load form elements without requiring a page
refresh, further improving the user experience.
Infinite Flexibility.
Event Manager was designed to be used by a variety of
states, each with their own unique laws, procedures, and
terminology. I designed the application to be extremely
flexible &emdash; nearly everything displayed on the screen was
configurable from the state administrator interface.
Not only were the fields themselves configurable, but
administrator users could easily specify simple and
complex validation rules, which were then evaluated
both in the front end and on the server to ensure data
accuracy.
