Global Remote Team, Us

Prototyped and built a career exploration tool for high school students, and while doing so, built an experiential learning and mentorship platform. The platform ended up becoming our primary business.

A scalable online startup incubator. I led development for the platform with a video-based weekly goal setting and feedback system, and peer-to-peer mentoring with 4000+ founders from around the world. We also had distributed online demo days where founders answered questions from investors in real time over live video. We helped introduce co-founders, teams to investors and other physical incubators.

Helping you find and compare flights from every travel site. We watch out for you, like advising about the true total cost, and immediately when the price drops. Travel search should be painless!I built the first prototype browser extension, website and backend using Javascript, Rails and MongoDB.

We make booking flights on miles easy. You can discover flights or easily compare real-time mileage seat availability with cash tickets, and decide whether to use your miles or pay for a cash ticket. I pitched the concept on a StartupBus, and built the beta product in Rails, MongoDB & JavaScript.

I led the development team for a startup within the global wire service, AFP, to create innovative B2C and B2B2C products. Our first product, Deadline, was a quiz engine that used gaming mechanics to create an addictive social experience, that scaled to 50k actives per day using our custom-written caching libraries for Rails. We then licensed it to companies like Yahoo & ESPN for the Olympics, and later the World Cup. We also created an iPhone app that showed you what was happening in the world through photos.

I started a web development agency for small to medium-sized businesses.The last project I worked on was Self Portrait; I led a team to create a social networking site for artists.

I worked on the client management site for their educational podcasting customers, and learned Ruby on Rails on the job.

I led the development of Flash & PHP websites for large corporations like the John Forsyth Shirt Co, and other Toronto-based companies.
