MVC Expert Needed for Qt Application Development : April 15, 2025 - October 13, 2025
Work on a Qt multimedia (a juke box of sorts) application to help fix a few
bugs. The software was aimed towards Windows and the Mac. I helped fix some
of the backend database and local web hosting bugs where a user could query
against the database for songs.
Dittocast V3-Administration UI Rework : June 27th 2018 - October 23, 2025
Worked on a big project, involving email, messaging security. There was
backend/API work, cron job scripting, and coming up with a system to transfer
files from one virtual box machine to another (securly). The system hosted
multiple users, among multiple companies.
The system used a custom PHP 8 framework (ie: speghetti code).
