The Code Vault

CollegeWikis.com

Best way to describe this project is to quote the website itself; "College Wikis is a website that you and your classmates can use as the ultimate information source for any questions you have." This project is for a startup that is still growing and so the project is still heavily under development. The challenge with this project was working with legacy, uncommented code and coming up with solutions that are flexible enough to handle lots of change requests.[In Progress]

Xippee

A firefox extension to help in the use of most popular search engines. It aims at aiding you in visually filtering your search results by masking a subset of boolean operators. I also implemented an ad server application to be used as a prototype for the extension's revenue model. I also wrote an Opera version of this extension. [Released]

NSimulator

A prototype that aims to commercialize a research project that uses input devices to revolutionize the education process for medical students and practitioners in a specific niche. The prototype, along with a market study, will be used as a feasibility indicator of starting a company around the product. [In Progress]

RetailMeNot

A firefox extension that helps you with your online shopping by notifying you of available coupons codes for the site you're visiting. The extension is a companion to the popular website with the same name and is meant to make it easy for shoppers to make full use of available coupons. A lot of work went into making this extension as user friendly as possible since the target users are online shoppers. [Released]

Displayshelf

The original developer describes this project as providing "a rich, templatable control to display a faux-3d view of a list of items. Its behavior is similar to the CoverFlow visualization added to iTunes in version 7." This project is released under a permissive license and so were my subsequent contracted changes. The project lives on as one of my open source projects.[Released]

StyledNotes

A project to help with research on learning methods. The application was used to study the effect of different features in a note-taking application on the learning ability of students. The features included things such as writing notes in rich text format, organizing notes in a hierarchy, and using speech recognition to drive the application's interface. The unique aspect of this application is its use of a minimal but flexible rich text editor and its interface with the Sphinx speech recognition engine. [Released]
