Web Developer / Home

I'm currently living in Sunnyvale, CA and working at as a Software Engineer. Aside from work I spend a portion of my time developing software for various ideas I can't seem to keep from having.

Textbook Revolt

I am currently focusing on building a student to student textbook rental platform. There are two others on the team and we're excited about solving the overpriced textbook problem once and for all.

PubliciTweet

A recent site I created was Twitter marketing tool named PubliciTweet. As part of the project I wrote a library for the Twitter OAuth API in order to better understand the OAuth specification. That library is available on Github as is the documentation. One of the biggest challenges of this project was to efficiently make tens of thousands of API calls while honoring Twitter's API limits.

I ended up selling the site in order to focus on the student to student textbook rental platform mentioned above. Before selling the site it had already sent 700,000 direct messages on Twitter and averaged over 40% click throughs.

Photagious

In 2003 I began working on my largest and most successful project, a photo sharing application named Photagious. We bootstrapped for 2 years and raised funding but ultimately had to shut the service down in 2009. I still run a version of the site for my personal use and utilize it's API to integrate my photos into the right bar.
