   Here are a few of my more notable contributions and projects: Data Center \'Re-Design\'- I have taken on a significant role in the re-structuring of our off-site data center. I purchased and configured a Cisco 2500 series switch using Cisco CLI to provide us with access to serial ports remotely via telnet. Some other things: Kernal debugging, BIOS troubleshooting and re-configuring, general Linux troubleshooting, RAID re-configuring, hardware replacement and recovery. Coding Challenge - At Sansay, I participate in recruitment and in the process of doing many phone interviews, I decided that a coding challenge would be a better indicator of our potential candidates skills. So, I built a coding challenge webapp that we could provide to our candidates. The coding challenge front end is built using Bootstrap, JQuery, JsPDF, and Ace Editor open-source API. The back end is running on a Node.js server using Nodemailer, express.js, and Fortitude. The next refactor will alter the connection process to leverage websockets as well as session cookies to provide more details about the test and provide the added capability of rejoining a session. WebRTC Plugins - I have assisted in the conception and development of our WebRTC plugin offerings. These plugins include webphone, screensharing, video conferencing, presence, and messaging. Our suite of WebRTC offerings were all developed in JavaScript with JQuery and Adapter.js. I played a big role in the creation of documentation and user manuals. I also helped manage the deployment of these offerings via web-portal using Nginx. Custom Reporting page - I developed an administrator page for one of our products to provide the detailed analytics and graphs from data pulled in from that administrator\'s domain\'s call detail reports. The reports page was built on the existing Ruby on Rails webapp leveraging HAML write-up language, flot.js, Jquery, and AngularJS.
