Experience

  • StormSharp

    I Implemented a proprietary C# library to interface .NET
    technologies with the Apache Storm stream-processing tool.

    The company I was working with was exclusively a .NET shop and had decided to migrate a substantial piece of infrastructure to Apache Storm.

    Storm was a tool that performed best when the code is in its native Java, but it had a multilanguage interface capable of executing code in any language which could provide an adapter library. At the time, HD Insight was still six months away from announcing their library providing .NET support for Storm.

    Using the documentation on Storm's multilanguage specification and a couple of weeks, I was able to create a feature-complete library which could act as a C# interface for running Storm bolts/spouts and managing Storm topology definitions.

  • SmtpPilot
    https://github.com/cmcquillan/SmtpPilot

    I implemented a simple SMTP server in C# to aid in the development and testing of applications which send emails. This project's eventual goal is to implement RFC 5321 and RFC 5322 and become a fully standards-compliant SMTP server and relay.

  • Redirect-URI.com

    Redirect-URI.com is an open tool for web developers doing local development against OAuth services with strict redirect rules. For security purposes, these OAuth services require developers to specify a redirect where they will send users after a successful OAuth handshake. Frequently there are arbitrary rules imposed on these URIs that make it challenging to develop your integration locally (such as being only HTTP/HTTPS, not allowing any localhosts, and so on).

    This tool will accept any URL after "https://redirect-uri.com/" and will forward all path, query, and hash URL parameters to the developer's localhost.

    I built the tool using TypeScript, HTML, CSS, and hosted it on my personal Kubernetes cluster. I made it to solve a problem with an OAuth provider I was building against and decided to release it openly for anyone who needs it.
