Worked on a web-based mapping tool that allows easy importing and visualisation of real-time geographic datasets (csv's, shapefiles, etc) on choropleth maps.The back-end was written in GeoDjango with PostGIS. I wrote a REST API (using django-tastypie) to manage the geographic datasets, and extended a library called django-dynamo that allows the ability to generate GeoDjango models at runtime.The front-end was written in Backbone.js, Backbone.Marionette.js, Handlebars.js for templating, and Leaflet.js for client-side mapping.

For the duration of my employment at Datacom, I worked off-site at Telecom New Zealand for Chorus as part of the Undertakings Implementation Programme (UIP Project).- Development of an application, which facilitated B2B communication between Chorus and Service Companies in a J2EE environment, using JAX-WS web services. The application was written in Spring Framework 2.5 and Hibernate on IBM WebSphere Application Server 7 and Oracle 11g. The web UI was written in JSP with Apache Tiles and JQuery. I was involved in the project from the requirements gathering phase to go-live.- Developed a heat map web application prototype for Chorus using the Google Maps API V3 for Javascript. I wrote two overlays: a weather overlay that displayed weather forecasts; and a statistics overlay that showed real-time Chorus business statistics for New Zealand regions.The prototype allowed Chorus to visualize their region based data across New Zealand and make decisions proactively. The heat map gained funding to turn into a final product as I was leaving, so I wrote a developer guide to ensure continued development went smoothly.- Set up automated ANT builds and continuous integration using Hudson.- Configured server clusters in UNIX environment.- Wrote release notes and deployment instructions for staging and production environments.- Worked in a small team of developers, testers, business analysts and project managers.

Python/Perl development for the Information Systems team for a Summer of Code internship:- Developed web application to display diagnostic information about a selected shot within a scene of a film. This helped artists to see an overview of lighting, camera and other assets used within a shot. The initial development involved writing regular expressions to parse custom file metadata, and HTML/CSS/Javascript/JQuery to display the information.- Converted Perl CLI scripts to Python and upgrading the scripts to access an Apache Solr database, which resulted in a simple API for Solr access that other developers could reuse.- Started rewriting a web application to allow artists to submit requests for show reels, and administrators to approve and generate the show reels. I simplified the existing web application by allowing the request process to take place using one screen, which replaced the existing 5-screen request process, making it easier for the artists to submit requests. Both web applications were developed in the Pylons framework for Python, with a RESTful web service architecture. Unfortunately I did not see the end of this project before the end of the summer, but it was passed on to the other developers to complete.
