1) I designed and developed a web-based transportation logistics application, HaulStreet. HaulStreet allows internal business people to both enter in and query real-time status of trucks and available loads based on geospatial, truck type and load size parameters. It also allows independent truckers to log into the system and enter in where they are at and where they want to go, those entries then show up in the query interface for the internal business people.
Technologies: C# v3.5, ASP.Net, MS SQL Server, MS Virtual Earth
2) I designed and developed a mobile Android-based application that allowed real-time tracking of loads, CheckCall. The application is downloaded from the Android Market and the trucker enters in information regarding their haul and the application automatically checks after a specific duration.

I developed a web-based tool that indicated potential drug-to-drug interactions with their associated likelihood and severity rendered on a graph. The application was designed to be used on tablet-based computer by a clinician when prescribing medications. The drug interaction information came from the Open Data Drug & Drug Target Database (http://drugbank.ca/).

I was responsible for designing key pieces of the Angie's List software stack. I pioneered new efforts within the organization in regards to technology, such as settling on one JavaScript library (jQuery), quantifying site performance (YSlow), and not using a relational database to serve search queries (Solr). I optimized HTTP traffic, reducing the amount of data transferred on average 350%, and in some cases 5000%. Implemented a Solr-powered search engine and wrote custom a DisMax scoring module that using 7 variables from service providers' parameters. Designed a new join funnel to allow marketing infinite flexibility for A/B testing.

Company I founded and worked on full-time for over a year.
I wrote a next-generation address book sensitive to contextual information (location, communicator, calendar, urgency of message). The application was designed to be distributed across N servers so the web servers were stateless and Memcached was used to provide state. I designed a search engine that ran on Google AppEngine to pull information from member endpoints in real-time, parse the information into RDF and serve it back to the appliction over a RESTful API. The API used OAuth to authenticate clients and published data in a variety of formats such as RDF/XML, RDF/N3, JSON, and XML.
I designed my own ORM that used Microsoft T4 Templating system that was superior to CSLA, NetTiers, or NHibernate and I designed my own MVC web framework that leveraged the templating system.

Most development work was Section-508 compliant.

I designed for and coded in all tiers of an n-tier browser-based core processing system for the financial services industry. Worked with business analysts to define requirements and understand how the application was going to be used. I wrote unit tests for all code that I wrote. I designed icons, animations, as well the general branding of the application. Responsible for high-profile areas of the application such as the bank teller interface and Internet banking.
