Brought HackCollege from a domain name and Wordpress install to the largest student-run empire on the Web. Worked with Microsoft, NBC Universal, Intel, Adobe, HP, AT&T and more to bring relevant, effective partnerships to life.

Brainstormed, designed and implemented blip.tv's "Thumbnail Picker." The Thumbnail Picker was the first-of-its-kind realtime thumbnail selector and image manipulator for video files, all performed in-browser (all of them) using the HTML5 canvas element and some pixel-pushing. The most difficult part of the project required trading raw JPEG data between the flash video player and the page quickly. Upon release, many show producers tweeted, "Why hasn't anyone done this before?"

Learned enough Perl to realize it's probably not the best language to choose in 2011. The web framework developed in-house made it a breeze and a pleasure to work with.

Implemented the first HTML5 video player with advertising technology in the world, working with a yet-to-be-finalized specification and more edge cases shuttle launch. Okay, maybe not that many edge cases.

Designed and implemented a static asset pipeline system similar to Rails 3.1 for the blip code base. The system uses the template files themselves to determine dependencies and inclusions through normal vanilla HTML script elements. Thus, the template files themselves dictate which JS and CSS files to concatenate and include without any special syntax or configuration. This allows us to bring our JS and CSS includes down from ~200 per page to 2. This static asset pipeline allows blip to treat JavaScript as a first-class language.

On paper, I am not the professor of this class because LMU's computer system does not allow a current student to also be the professor on record for a class. That being said, I co-taught LMU's first Web video class in the film school.

Snagged some on-camera time, worked on the now defunct Internet TV show popSiren, developed rough cut generating software saving 2 hours per episode per show

Designed and implemented product SDK, fixed bugs in production software, deployed new automated build system (SCons)

Consulting is a dirty word, but it best describes what I've done for Participant Media (Syriana, An Inconvenient Truth and Good Night, and Good Luck), Capture Your Flag and a few other projects just getting off the ground.
