LuckyLady is a company I founded together with my wife. She offers spiritual advice and counseling through a number of web properties and a custom CRM I develop and maintain. http://www.raizesespirituais.com.br
Objetiva is a consulting company I co-founded. We help startups through their first cycles of product development or when their product has gone down the tube because someone made a mess. At this point we've frozen activities because both my co-founder and myself have burned out on the consulting business. I'm currently still working with one of our clients but it's more an on the side thing. http://www.objetiva.co/?locale=en A couple of the projects I worked on: http://www.canaldocredito.com.br (rescue) Siteface: a CMS very much like virb.com, launched but the owner let it die. Salus: CRM for hospitals. (rescue project) Via Rastreamento, Realtime GPS tracking. (rescue)
Surgeworks is a consulting firm based in Salt Lake City. I joined the team supposedly to work on Wordpress projects but got into Ruby & Rails by december. I have about 45 project directories left from that time left today so I have no idea how many projects I actually worked on. Some interesting things we worked on was helping yellowpages.com integrate Radiant. Surgeworks has a bunch of catholic mobile apps (e.g. http://www.divineoffice.org), for which I build a CMS (rails & Obj-C). I build a backend for a flash app that lets you build a customized Jeep. I implemented the sustainability@BU website for Boston University (http://www.bu.edu/sustainability/) which won the MITX 2010 for best project in the educational category (http://www.bu.edu/sustainability/2010-mitx-winner/). Didn't get an invite though. http://www.surgeworks.com
I had just arrived in Brasil, had no idea what I would do next so I hustled on oDesk for 7 months. I took on about every project I could get my hands on. I shipped two .NET apps, a CodeIgniter app and a handful of Wordpress blogs in that time. Software Engineer at Symantec
DataCenter Technologies was a startup based in Ghent, Belgium. I joined their platform team to work on DC-Protect. DC-Protect evolved into PureDisk, which today is part of of the Netbackup product line. My main contribution to this product was essentially a message queue written with ACE & C++. Additional stuff I worked on was a build & test environment written in Python & shell, a little framework in Python to make building CLI apps quick. I introduced cfengine and maintained a in house fork of Gentoo. I left in 2007 when I moved to Brasil. DCT was acquired by VERITAS in 2005, which in turn was acquired by Symantec.
This small company did accounting software for small businesses. I got hired to help them explore new products. I helped them switch their infrastructure to Linux and maintained that for them. I built websites for them and their clients and I built prototypes. Two fun examples of those prototypes was a video surveillance app & an app to manage stock in a bar. That last one would tell you how many beers you had left in the refrigerator which I found awesome back then.
