Implemented the ability to 'train' arbitrary aspects of websites including automatic form fill, automated checkout, dynamic content blocking, domain blocking, content replacement, page sequence remapping, automatic screen scraping, fraud detection, and secure credit card submission.Developed a network transparent virtual machine, full graphical source level debugger and JIT compiler on which the proxy was… Show more Architected and implemented the proxy used to shop without a credit card. Implemented the ability to 'train' arbitrary aspects of websites including automatic form fill, automated checkout, dynamic content blocking, domain blocking, content replacement, page sequence remapping, automatic screen scraping, fraud detection, and secure credit card submission.Developed a network transparent virtual machine, full graphical source level debugger and JIT compiler on which the proxy was implemented. The entire system was transparently clustered, internally load balanced and completely stateless. Developed extensive cluster management tools for administering and monitoring an active cluster without interrupting service.The proxy technology was licensed to MyPoints in 2000 to implement their rewards platform which is still actively in use.RocketCash was acquired by NetZero in 2000. Assets were later acquired by The Coca-Cola Company in 2001.Co-Author of patent for proxy based electronic transactions. Show less
