FilmFind is an ongoing project designed by Chad Tomas. Combining aspects of social networking, databases, and wikis, FilmFind is a movie database search site that also allows registered users to add and edit new entries into the database. Registered users can also add reviews to movies they've seen and create and share lists of their favorite actors and movies.

FilmFind originally started as a database class final project in the spring of 2010 that was originally called "Who's In...?" with a slogan of, "Yup, she's in that movie". "Who's In...?" at the time was only available on a localhost and did not include user login functionality. The project allowed the user CRUD capabilities and featured 26 movies and 160+ actors. "Who's In...?" was written using JSP to access an Oracle SQL database.

A year later, Chad decided to redo the project to brush up on HTML/CSS. FilmFind uses the original data from its previous incarnation and more while adding user capabilities to the site, which is where we are now. At the opening of FilmFind, the database featured 87 movies and 365 actors. FilmFind was written in PHP/MySQL, with a small hint of JavaScript and jQuery.

The project took a total of five weeks to complete, including coming up with the concept, producing graphics, drawing up entity relationship digrams, coding, more coding, and endless hours of debugging.

Chad Tomas is currently a senior at Hawaii Pacific University pursuing his BS in Computer Science. Currently holding a 3.95 GPA, he is also a member of Upsilon Pi Epsilon, an honor society for the computing and information disciplines. Growing up, he made numerous sites for fun, ranging from his poker league to a site of his songs and poems. Although amateur at best, it sparked his interest enought for him to go into the computer science field. Chad spent two months at DeVry University in Phoenix, Arizona studying Computer Information Systems before transferring to HPU in the fall of 2008 in his home state of Hawaii. He is proficient in Java but also has experience working with HTML/CSS, SQL, PHP/MySQL, C#, and Assembly. His interests include web development and mobile application development.

On a personal note, Chad is an avid fan of the San Antonio Spurs. He also enjoys playing sports, especially basketball, playing poker, and jammin' out on his guitar.
