I was the main developer on this flagship product for our company Gummicube.

The system collects and analyzes millions of datasets each day by utilizing a distributed Python agents and DynamoDB. Python agents are running as greenlets on a multitude of servers across different hosting providers and territories. The agents communicate with the central system via a queuing service to allow for ease of scaling.

The SaaS component of the product offering is built on Meteor/Node.js/Meteor. It first began as prototypes during the early stages of the company, and I was able to gradually bring it to maturity as the company grew. At the time of writing, our platform have secured major enterprise clients such as Viacom, Staples, and Gree.

This is a Flash game that I have worked on in a team of three. We were contracted to design and build this promotional web game to draw hype to the launch of the console game. I was responsible for all of the client side programming.

This is an online Flash game programmed by myself back in 2007. I thought this an interesting piece to showcase because it demonstrates my experience with taking a project from start to finish, while taking into consideration user experience and overall design.

This is one of the mini-games for an educational MMORPG. I was responsible for all of the programming and participated in the design.

Begin the game by dragging and dropping a key (there may be more than one) on the hook just under the face in the center of the screen. Then attempt to balance the horizontal bar by dragging and dropping the different weights onto different hooks. Once the bar is balanced, click and hold the key, and you will see a keyhole appear in the mouth of the face in the center of the screen. Drop the key onto the keyhole, and the puzzle will be completed.

The point of the puzzle is to use the spools (you have two, with lengths of 8 and 10) to enclose stones that match the goals (there are two, 3 and 4). You begin by clicking on one of the spools, and then click on the grid board to place down pegs, and the game will wrap the spool around the pegs automatically. When you complete a shape that uses up the length of the spool, the enclosed stone will be captured. If the captured stones match one of the goals (again, they are 3 and 4), then the stones will be moved up to the goals, indicating that they have been completed.

The goal of the puzzle is to rotate the large center gear so that its pointer points to the top (indicated by number 0). Click on the small gears at the bottom to engage them to the large gear, and then click-and-drag the handle bar on the right side to have the gears rotate in either direction.
