Also handled rapid prototyping.My involvement spanned a number of areas. We covered ground from service experience design to text-based purchasing and facial recognition.

In 2008, I co-founded a location-based, time-triggered event and deal platform. Hacked a little in RoR.Mid 2009 the platform was licensed to Publink (http://publink.com/), and the technology is currently supports the country's largest public radio stations (KQED, OPB, KUT, WBUR, and others).
