◊items{

Users can connect and share their screen, allowing any user in the room to control any laptop with a 6 DoF gestural wand or web interface. In a larger team including several QA testers, wrote specification documents, tracked and closed bugs, and submitted merge requests.}
◊item{Significantly improved reliability of asynchronous queued event messaging stack to deal with network disconnects and timeouts. Reused this component in UI app and in room-to-room communication stack.}

◊items{
◊item{Designed, implemented, extended, documented, and QA'ed two generations of end-user application (60,000+ LOC). Users can convert various vendors' native file formats, browse tens of thousands of files, navigate large data sets (50 megapixel), draw on images using custom UI controls and extract metrics as an XML or PDF report.}
◊item{Research and design of gestural 2D vector-based annotation software – easy-to-learn gestures, only one "mode". Extensive randomized testing. Found that deceptively intuitive concepts can have very hairy implementations.}
◊;;;;item{Built secure ActiveX upload control (C/gSOAP/OpenSSL, VC++/MFC) and SOAP web service (C#/.NET). Learned how to build a slick system in a modern way, with ancient tools (MFC) and painful constraints (no downloadable client). The ActiveX component uses events and JavaScript hooks to abstract away all I/O and is essentially invisible: the Web-friendly GUI built around it is entirely HTML/JavaScript/CSS to avoid that out-of-place MFC feel.}
