Doing some cute JS stuff at Facebook.

As an intern on the Linkedin Connect teaam, I extended the Linkedin Javascript API to include support for Linkedin Groups, and built the Groups Plugin on top of the new API. I hacked on the Linkedin "Frontier" stack, implementing a content service and component that function as an email lookup service, and created a Chrome Extension to display the plugin in Gmail.

I was a Rails developer in the Lightweight Applications (LED) team, a division of the Platform/API team. Leveraging the LinkedIn OpenSocial Platform, I created a RIA (rich internet application) to tailor LinkedIn towards tech professionals and developers. The application employs an evented architecture with a queuing system with RabbitMQ/AMQP, and Worklings for asynchronous work. Besides working on my main project, I hacked together 3 other applications: a resume creator, a lunch alerting system, and a charting tool to gather local business intelligence from LinkedIn network updates/Twitter stream.

I provided support for the existing Ruby on Rails deployments at IRIS, and updated servers from Mongrel cluster to a custom-built Phusion Passenger service.

This was my entrance to social network platforms, Ruby on Rails, and Amazon EC2 servers. Challenged with the task of producing a Facebook application, my team created PartyPop, an event-organizational tool and event archive targeting Greeks on Facebook.
