I worked on the ItemMirror specification with the Keeping Found Things Found research project. (http://kftf.ischool.washington.edu/xooml.html). Implemented object oriented programs based on the ItemMirror specification using JavaScript to help developers build third party tools on top of ItemMirror. I was the lead developer who established the project's conventions of architecture, testing, and documentation.

Along with development I also evaluated and designed the software architecture for various University of Washington web applications per request from other departments.

In order to integrate third party data formats and APIs I worked closely with third party developers. At a nationally renown gaming convention called GenCon I represented the company as a public figure. Released two products used currently to create and import co
