WebCruise (Wincruise Systems)

I am a part of a three-person team who redesigned and implemented WebCruise, an ASP .NET MVC application for travel agents to manage their bookings. Basing our web application on a twenty-year-old desktop application, we built the platform from scratch, adding new functionality along the way. As a full-stack developer, I worked on all areas of the project. I specialized in back-end code for reporting, generating invoices, and querying clients using complex filters.

Splash / Juice (Ayuda)

I was on the development team for Splash/Juice, the core product of the Ayuda Platform. Splash/Juice is an ASP .NET MVC application hosted on Windows Azure, and uses Azure SQL and Entity Framework. I worked on everything from the UI (HTML/CSS, javascript, jQuery), to back-end logic, to SQL functions.

Cloud Manager (Ayuda)

I was responsible for developing and maintaining Cloud Manager, an Azure web role that deploys and manages IIS applications. Cloud Manager is the core component for the deployment and hosting of the Ayuda product suite. I worked on transitioning it from Azure SDK 1.7 to 2.4, as well as features and fixes.

Web-Vis (ELVIS)

I developed Web-VIS, a Django application that performs interval analysis on music scores. The font-end was built using KnockoutJS, jQuery datatables, and Bootstrap. I built the Django component on VIS, a python framework developed by the McGill ELVIS team.
