Relevant Experience
Penny Auction Soft
Web Developer / Designer / System Administration
April 2012 - Present
Duties include Development, improvement and rewriting of existing Penny
Auction Software(14 different
programs which are now 14 Templates). Custom Design on over 50 websites.
Create, Customize and maintain
servers for old and new clients. Custom payment gateways and custom code
including specialized auction types,
buy now methods, coupon methods and more. Also maintain and create a new
download server, Shopping Cart
and more that work together using Curl and JSON to automate licensing and
recurring payments for the company
itself. Shopping Cart is also expected as a new program for sale as well.
Made exiisting software more extendable
by introducing a modular based approach for many features such InfusionSoft
API, Facebook App, Like, Share
and Login APIs, Autolister(which I created new from scratch), In Page Design
Suite(which again I created from
scratch) and more. Added a tutorials module and program updates module to
existing software that uses CURL
and JSON to notify site admins of what input fields do, when updates are
available for the core program, add ons
and if hosted by this company, tells them when payments are due. This is the
shortest of descriptions that I can
offer you for the work done with this company. I also had to migrate much of
their code to PHP5.3+ from PHP
<= 5.2 and fix several Flash and Javascript bugs related to IE >= 9 and
eliminate a great deal of redundancy that
was created by a combination of overseas programmers and sloppiness in
planning.

really only directed a town of just under
7000 people.
