My time at Pariveda was brief but very educational. I architected a large CRM mobile application and related services for iPhone and Android, using ASP MVC, a Sinatra and Redis-based synchronization layer, and a cross-platform mobile client utilizing the Ruby-based Rhodes framework. Pariveda is an outstanding consulting company with tremendous integrity. The trust relationships they have with their clients is just flat-out impressive. It took a phenomenal opportunity to drag me away.

At Sabre I was a member of the Travel Studios team which produces the successful travel mobile application TripCase. I worked on basically every layer of the application, from services and back-end data modeling in Rails to front end website work in CSS/JQuery as well as native coding on Android and Blackberry. It was a great experience -- Travel Studios is stacked with talent and has a fantastic product.
