Below are some of the projects that I am currently working on or have worked on in the past. Of course there are others not here...which are private projects or have been "lost in the digital fire" so-to-speak. Click here to change color.

Documentron.js

PROJECT URL: http://documentronjs.chris-malcolm.com
TEAM: Chris Malcolm
YEAR / VERSION: 2017 / v0.5

Documentron is a javascript library for quicker documentation by Chris Malcolm. Documentron parses scripts and looks for comment blocks, with the open portion having double ** asterisks. Documentron's documentation is actually documented by itself! This syntax is loosely based on the JSDoc syntax. with @parameters Some improvements were creating more flexible framework for subparameters, flags, and groups, as mentioned above.

CMCM

PROJECT URL: http://cmcm.io
TEAM: Chris Malcolm
YEAR / VERSION: 2014 / v1.0

Built off the same principles of Blogweenie, CMCM is a simple sexy content manager for designers, built with PHP and Javascript, and a database-less storage tactic--A JSON-based content manager. It allows you to drag and drop the files to and from any directory on your server without having to migrate any other dependencies (such as SQL/ database structures). The goal was to make a manager that is transparent, flexible, and transportable. As long as your server has PHP, it should work on any server. It is extremely robust and handsdown the most ambitious project I've done thus far. CMCM is also equipped with frunt, a designed-for-cmcm api for grabbing project data, sorting, displaying widgets (menu, slideshows, etc), and more. Not only is CMCM flexible and simple, but can be extended to have as many attributes as you want, as well as multi-user, multi-backend support!

ARCHIDUCK was an initiative to create a global archive MACHINE of architecture (and architecture-related) STUDENT WORK from around the world.

PROJECT URL: http://catsticker.com

Catsticker.com is a mysterious force of nature that spontaneously arose from the deep depths of pure joy and happiness, never to occur again for another three trillion years. It's perfection can be compared to that of fresh sizzling bacon, dolphins in the sunset, warm hazelnut cookies, and the rare but delicious skittlefairy. On top of these features, the site also boasts a (somewhat daily) music blog and a ton of cats...all curated by none other than the infamous adhesiv cat. 2.0 takes the site to the next level, by integrating social features such as user accounts, crowdsourced music uploads, favorite playlists, and more.
