Stocksy United is an artist-owned stock photography co-operative founded upon the principles of equality, respect and the fair distribution of profits with a goal of delivering world class photography at reasonable prices.As a co-founder of the co-operative and a senior software developer, I have been responsible for selecting initial technologies and building core application architecture for the web front end. Working with a small team of technologists and designers, my role involved designing and implementing accounting and e-commerce systems, constructing content management systems (including advanced GUI tools for uploading and processing photography, managing photography catalogs and managing metadata information) as well as implementing user engagement tools for searching, content sharing and customer participation.In addition to my technical duties as a developer, I have assisted in establishing core business processes, including working closely with accounting, managing code repositories and performing requirements analysis for business needs.I am proud to have helped develop a business that not only provides fantastic design resources for designers and marketers, but helps establish sustainable careers for hard working, talented photographers.

In my role at Special Projects, I led a small development team in the technical design and implementation of the LIFE.com website, iPhone and iPad applications. (LIFE.com was a joint venture between Time Inc. and Getty Images)The LIFE.com development team was responsible for developing the website from the ground up, implementing application architecture, content management systems and, with the assistance of our Seattle-based systems teams, integrating the LIFE.com application tightly into the Getty Images systems and content library APIs. In my role, I facilitated the technical integration of our Calgary-based development team with the editorial team in New York and our systems teams in Seattle, ensuring that business goals were being accurately broken down into technical requirements and communicated throughout both sides of the joint venture.In addition to my business role, I had a number of technical duties which included implementing the customer-facing website application, converting design mockups into working pages and focusing on site performance to ensure optimal site performance. I also worked closely with our developers and our systems teams to implement source code management, business and QA processes.During the lifetime of the joint venture, our technical achievements helped reinvigorate a classic brand into a thriving, successful and award-winning web experience.
