Project with multiple parts:
- uploading a CSV file containing a list of Instagram users
- processing the list to determine if the username has a public, private, or deleted account
- geopositioning the public usernames by exploring the metadata of the recent pictures and geocoding the resulting GPS coordinates using Google Maps API
- auto-like of pictures that have a specific hashtag

I developed a script to see whether musical genres were bound to a specific region of origin. The artist data was retrieved by using the Freebase API, and the map components were done with the Google Maps API (retrieval of GPS coordinates from the city of origin of artists and map creation).

This is a small personal project to scrape and display a large number of places of a given type using the Google Maps API and jQuery UI for the small design part. The API restricts the number of results to 200 for given bounds so I wrote an algorithm to retrieve more by dividing the area of research into smaller parts. The script can easily be adapted to retrieve any kind of place with as many details as possible (as long as it is provided by the Google Maps API).

The project uses the Adobe SiteCatalyst Analytics Reporting API to retrieve data about visitors of a given website and display the data using Google Charts instead of the default UI.
The script provides an easy way for any user with minimal knowledge in programming to display multiple types of graphs and multiple kinds of values on the same graph for comparison, as well as an easy way to display both current and prior values on two different lines on the same graph to observe the evolution over time.

I developed a script for the iMacro extension (Firefox and Chrome) to auto-book driving hours in the Lyft.me interface. This script was made as a mix of JavaScript and the iMacro language and allows users to simply input hours they would like to drive (very easily by editing the first lines of the script). The script loops on the Lyft.me interface to regularly check if one or multiple hours are available to pick up and if they match the user availability. If so, it selects the hours, saves the modifications, and sends an email to the user to notify him of the changes.
