  - Working remotely, transformed raw ideas into a fully functioning commercial web application for iDoor, a pre-launch startup that pioneered a song-recognition software and hardware device that enables users to identify and buy the songs heard in the car, mall or elevator at a click of a button. The commercial website is the link between user seeking to identify the music and the song recognition engine.
  
  - Over-delivered on client and management expectations by deploying the Spring-and-Hibernate-based AJAX-enabled Java application in two months instead of six (this positioned the iDoor startup to pursue Series A funding)
