• Matrix Spiral Takes a string of spaced numbers and the number of columns that make up a matrix. Creates a 2d matrix and can print out the numbers in the matrix in spiral order going clockwise. Created and improved upon as part of a coding test from plug.dj.

• Bitcoin Arbitrage is an arbitrage program I wrote in response to a coding puzzle issued by priceonomics.com. The program retrieves the current rates through priceonomics API and then determines the best possible arbitrage opportunity in the data set. A directed graph of the data is created. Arbiter uses the Bellman Ford algorithm over the negative log of the product of the edge weights along the di-graph to find negative weight cycles. Permutations of possible arbitrage cycles containing the edge with a negative weight cycle are compared and the most profitable is returned.

• Django and SQL Database creation I created this script for a startup website I'm working on. This script populates a SQL database with all of the categories from the National Taxonomy of Exempt Entities and all of the non-profit organizations in the US from the IRS pub78 release.

• Guidestar Database Information Sync This script works with the database created from the previous script. It updates the non-profit organizations in the database with information from the Guidestar database like organization mission statement, zipcode, total annual revenue and total annual expenses. It categorizes the organizations into primary, secondary and tertiary categories and sub-categories based on Guidestar. Additionally, if the script finds a new category on Guidestar, it will add the category to the database.

• Python API Assignment is a python script I wrote in response to a coding assignment from Saffron Digital. The script finds all of the popular music artists through Yahoo search API, then finds all of the artists' albums through LastFM API. It finds the album name, a medium-sized image link of the album cover and the play counts for each album. Then it spits everything out in JSON format. One of the requirements for the challenge was that the script execute in less than 30 seconds. My script only takes about 10 seconds to execute.

• Python List Comprehension is a python script written in response to an online interview question asked by Convertro for a developer position. The function of the script is a basic parse and sort. The interesting part for me was the restriction to using only list comprehension to accomplish the task.

• GiraffL I built GiraffL.com for EDN-Systems. GiraffL is a raffling website where a lot of the proceeds are donated to charities. I built GiraffL with Django 1.6.1 and PostgreSQL. I used Amazon S3 with CORS for image uploads and stripe to handle credit card payments. I optimized GiraffL to perform under high traffic.

• Brnable Brnable is a privacy proxy for sharing content online. I built brnable with Flask and Nginx on the backend and Bootstrap3 on the frontend.

• Wyoma Films This is a portfolio site for a video production startup based in Los Angeles, CA. I built and re-built this site multiple times, usually coinciding with new video releases for the company. I built it with Django 1.5, PostgreSQL on the backend and jQuery and Bootstrap on the front.

• Rime Now I performed dev-ops on this website, transfering it to webfactional and setting up the new server. I had to go in and fix some old Python-Twitter API code as well in order to get the site operational. I setup the new MySQL server and imported the information for the Django app to serve.
