My First job, Experience with customers, and a Team environment. This job taught me many people skills and helped push me out of my introverted comfort zone. I got to be an assistant manager during the day and a manager during the night shift.

First software development project as a group. Worked on multiple projects with SVN using Tortoise SVN as well as Visual Studio plugin AnkhSVN. Created AI automation to interface with Diablo2 (an older video game). Kept public wiki and forums updated with API, troubleshooting, and community interactions/UX.

Picked up a job search engine for Mexico halfway through its development which had been abandoned by another developer, the code was left as a train wreck mess and uncommented. I created a scrapper that crawled other sites and gathered job listings. Managed to get it live and traffic coming to it :)

Took a popular image to icon conversion website and completely redesigned the website. The UX had to be simple, quick, and easy for the users, along with implementing some new flashy features. There were some bugs residing in the image processing code that I had to crush.

Complete overhaul for one of the sites from the ConvertIco network. Powered by WordPress, it allows an admin to upload a zip package with PNGs which are converted into ICO’s and repackaged into a zip. “Posts” are icon packages and the theme was created from scratch which implements the WordPress environment.

ConvertIco network client. We created a new site based off of existing code that would produce fav icons for websites from gif, jpg, or png to a 16x16 or 32x32 ico.

New site for ConvertIco network client. I installed PNG optimization software through shell onto Linux PHP would determine which compression software or method to use, and then deliver the optimized PNGs back to the web interface.

Corkyapp.com was developed for my web design class at COCC as my final project. I worked with Germán Campos as the lead designer as well as acting as a client via our team Logic Happens.

CorkyApp is a cork-board post note system to help keep you organized and share ideas. It allows for sharing, along with anonymity, contains a WYSIWYG editor, with simplicity in mind, along with security.

I started an internship at cQpon during the Spring Term of 2013. Circumstances with the previous developer opened up an opportunity for me to become the Chief Technology Officer at cQpon and later obtaining partnership in the company.

The website had already been through a few major revisions when I got there and was left a mess. I decided to rebuild the website from the ground up with standards and database normalization. This posed a few key issues: backwards compatibility because there were QR codes printed out that took people to the site, migrating the data from a poorly constructed database over to a new more properly set up one, as well as parsing hundreds of files into the database.

During the time that I rebuilt the site we rebranded the company from CuriousQ to cQpon. This was because curiousq.com had been taken and we were using curiousq.info as our main domain. I came up with the name cQpon as an abbreviation which was unique, short, and available as a .com

The company evolved into a mobile app that contains digital coupons and punch cards to generate new customers and keep customer loyalty. It allows for cross networking between businesses on the platform, and offers a way for businesses of any size to afford a mobile app presence on consumer's mobile devices. It is now in the process of being acquired.

ThaiFlyBend.com is a simple static site developed for a local food cart - Thai on The Fly. The menu is modeled after traditional paper menus but has a bubble at the top that highlights the current day.

WIP. One handle to rule them all! A website to house all your different handles/usernames. Instead of sharing multiple accounts with people you just share you masterhandle instead. Masterhandle allows you to find similarities with your friends that you may not have known, and to connect with new people around you with similar interests.
