• Creator

  Onxiam.com

  (Information Technology and Services industry)

  June 2006 — June 2009 (3 years 1 month)

  Created Onxiam.com, a website which consolidates a person's online identity information under one master identity page. I had a personal need for a webpage like this, and at the time nothing existed, so I built it.
  
  My personal page proved extremely useful so I expanded the page into a full website and opened it up to the public, gaining hundreds of members. I single-handedly conceived, architected, designed, and programmed the entire website.
