Brad Kellett’s Experience

Senior UI Developer

Cuil

(Privately Held; Internet industry)

December 2008 — Present (8 months)

Design, develop, and maintain middle-tier and front-end systems for the world's largest search engine, including a custom in-house web server architecture designed to be massively scalable for both content and users. Pioneered innovative ways to display and interact with a variety of data collections from concept through design and implementation.

Founder / CTO

Swapcove

(Internet industry)

December 2008 — Present (8 months)

Brought a new perspective on barter from concept to successful launch on an aggressive schedule. Designed and developed a scalable architecture using MVC best practices in a purpose built PHP framework, tuned for speed and horizontal scalability.

Using technologies like Memcache, distributed file systems, fault-tolerant database and serving tiers, and schema-less data storage, transformed Swapcove from an idea to a bartering platform.
