Provided direction and support for company in eliminating 7 years of tech debt and created a technical path and vision for moving company's development from unscalable coldfusion solution to python solution based on industry best practices and open source technologies.

Helped craft technical and functional vision for new products and services released by company.

Got initial company devops infrastructure built using chef and linux. This allowed the company to move from taking weeks to build out bug-filled production and development systems to taking about 3 mins for perfectly formatted deploys and buildouts of consistent dev boxes. Probably saved hundreds (maybe thousands) of dev and qa hours, simplified / cut down on errors and bugs in deployment process and provided routes to bring up extra qa and staging environments when needed.

Introduced modern as3 and framework-based python development toolchains and technologies -- helped mentor engineers in best practices when designing actionscript and python applications. Resulted in refactors of several high-profile projects which made the projects more stable and more importantly MUCH more maintainable by the dev team.

AM was busy integrating 3rd party systems into their existing infrastructure when I arrived. They were doing it via direct API calls. I helped introduce message queueing (via Rabbit) as a more flexible/scalable approach to having an architecture with multiple independent systems interacting with one-another.

Built and grew several android phone applications -- Poet's Corner, Speaking Chinese Flashcards, iTazer for Android

Helped companies trying to build Flex, Flash and AIR applications with training, architectural support and coding.

Taught classes on development using Flex, Android and Rails.

Clients have included design houses in San Francisco, VMWare, Cisco, TurnHere & Teak Motion Visuals - examples of my work are available on my web site.

Designed + developed real-time interactive web conferencing solution built on top of the Flash player.
