Flawless^* Freelancing Record

Elance is a global online employment platform. Clients can hire independent freelance professionals and use online collaboration tools to manage remote teams and projects. Independent contractors create online profiles and portfolios, submit proposals for jobs, and collaborate and receive payment through the Elance website.

Here are some of my testimonials:

Project Euler is a series of challenging mathematical/computer programming problems that will require more than just mathematical insights to solve. Although mathematics will help you arrive at elegant and efficient methods, the use of a computer and programming skills will be required to solve most problems.

Hubster was the brainchild of Ethan Greenspan. He wanted a central hub for all of the web's television and movies. It pained Ethan to query Netflix, Hulu, Amazon, Itunes, etc to search for a show. I built Ethan a TV and Movie aggregator of-sorts - he called it Hubster. Ethan took my initial prototype to a hackathon in Boston and won second place. Him and his team were flown to San Francisco for the finals. They didn't come home with a prize, but I hear Mark Cuban was in touch.

A copy of the prototype has been thrown on this server. Take a peek.

BitLot.to (namechange pending because bitlotto.com exists) is a project I built in September to fill a void in the Bitcoin lottery market. The idea is to build a system whereby users can enrol in both hosted, and user-generated lotteries using Bitcoins.

Users signup with a username, email address and timezone. They are then assigned a default profile picture and are given 3 credits. These credits can be used to create lotteries. Users can only create three lotteries at one time.

When users create a lottery, they are provided with a private link to share with their friends.

Users can also enrol in reoccuring, hosted lotteries. BitLot.to hosts hourly, daily, weekly, monthly, and annual lotteries.

In order to guarentee that neither BitLot.to or any other user can rig the outcome of a lottery, users are asked to submit a string of entropy upon creation and enrolment. These entropies are concatenated and are used as the seed for the random number generator that picks a winner. They are subsequently published once the draw takes place so that users can check against the results if they so desire.

Please note. The system is incomplete and uses play money. When you sign up you will be given 300 BTC. This is FAKE BTC. Do not deposit real bitcoins into this system. You have been warned.

If you would like to INVEST in this project. Please contact me.

To build the Blackberry product, teams from across the entire organization must utilize enterprise software packages. As a Software Support Specialist, I was responsible for ensuring these packages were functional.

I dealt with RIM employees from all departments, mostly via email, occasionally via telephone. When users had issues with their software, I was there to provide support.

Over a dozen enterprise software packages were supported, the big-players were: Atlassian Confluence, Atlassian JIRA, MKS Integrity, DevTrack, Code Collaborator and Perforce.

The last six months of my software support role, my manager began to rigorously teach me web development. I was always fascinated with the web, but this (LAMP), opened up a new can of worms.

I became fascinated by all-things-web and decided to begin freelancing right after graduation. I haven't looked back since.

Deal Grid

This prototype had heavy heavy potential but due to company issues, it was never launched. The idea was to take a weekly Excel document provided by an external (unnamed) deal company, upload it to the site and display it to users in a revolutionary way. The site has real-time filters on the left, as well as an interactive tour. Shame it never went live! BEAUTY. Note the deals are outdated - don't expect to get them now.

The application was built in collaboration with Jeff Jourdain. I did the Excel uploader (thousands upon thousands of rows - very computationally expensive to get it in a workable form). I also did the JavaScript, all the real-time filtering and what-not. We used David Desandro's Isotope plugin.

A copy of the prototype has been thrown on this server. Take a peek.

iGoCheap

In collaboration with Jeff Jourdain, we authored iGoCheap.

iGoCheap was our first effort to take an immense spreadsheet filled with travel-deals (from a separate company) and display it the most user-friendly way as possible. What was learned here was eventually applied to the Deal Grid shown above.

I, specifically, was responsible for building the uploading script (PHP) for the spreadsheet. The importation process was broken into multiple steps where the administrator could select which deals to 'feature', and which ones to reject (if any). A widget was also developed to be embedded on affiliate websites. I'm happy to share the backend login credentials to anyone interested. On the front-end, deals had to be grouped and sorted by departure date and price. The ability to call a bargain hunter using Phone.com's API, submit quotes to taLeadManager, firing requests to the booking tool, and jquery effects were all my responsibility as well.

I try not to let schooling get in the way of my education - but here's a list of what I've been through, formally:

Chemistry :: Calculus :: Differential Equations :: Vector Calculus :: Design and Graphics :: Statics :: Physics :: Electric Circuits :: Computer Programming (C) :: Thermodynamics :: Digital Circuits :: Linear Algebra :: Probability and Statistics :: Engineering Design :: Data Structures and Numerical Methods (C++) :: Technical Communications :: Networks and Systems :: Electromechanics :: Introduction to Electronics :: Electromagnetic Fields :: Signal Analysis :: Electrical Materials :: Power Systems :: Analog Communications :: Instrumentation :: Microprocessors :: Analog Electronics :: Electrical Design :: Engineering in Society :: Electromagnetic Waves and Propagation :: Digital Signal Processing :: Digital Communications :: Modern Control Systems :: Digital Control Systems :: Engineering Economics

and last but not least... Senior Year Project on Visible Light Communication

There are indeed, more projects. Some I cannot discuss (NDAs), some are my own personal ideas that I'm not willing to publish yet (but I'll talk to you privately about them), and others I won't release because they were in my early days of development.

You might notice a gap in my Elance testimonials between June 2012 and August 2012. I can share this application with you privately as well. It's an elaborate scraper for the foreclosure industry.

But I'll talk about these:

CSS3 3D Transformations: Rubik's Cube

Yea, I can solve a cube. The idea was to build a Rubik's cube using CSS3 3D Transformations to instruct users how to solve it themselves.

The official transforms specification is new and, thus, has not been implemented by all browser vendors yet. This is quite experimental. You'll need Chrome or Firefox, and Windows.

Have a peek!

The barebones* of this very site was built by yours truly in two days.

It may not look like much, but considering there is an entire custom-built blog authoring platform tucked away behind a login (sorry, it's B-Crypted), I'm quite satisified. For the Blog authoring, I used WMD Editor and Hacked it to allow image uploads. If you're interested in hiring - I'm happy to provide and talk about all source for this site. Here are some screenshots of the backend:

• Apache
• MySQL
• PHP
• Ubuntu 12.04 Server
• CodeIgniter
• Javascript
• jQ & jQ UI
• AWS Server (EC2)
• WMD
• Prettify
• Ajaxform
• StackOverflow API
• CSS3
• Bootstrap
• GIMP
• Underscore.js
