Past Jobs
2009: Metranome Inc
I developed a user recommendation system for videos that implemented collaborative filtering algorithms in SQL. This was a Waterloo, ON startup created by early RIM employees. I also did iOS development and Facebook app work.
2008: Nader for President
I worked in the Washington, D.C. office for Ralph Nader's 2008 Presidential campaign. I created a fundraising platform that was credited with tripling online donations. I also made a map that showed in near real-time the signature counts of the campaign's petition drives [See Project]. Other work I did there includes Twitter API app development, CMS work, IT, designing T-shirts and the dozens of small things that running a national campaign requires.
