    Created an SMS web interface, Apple Dashboard widget, Google gadget, and Yahoo widget.

    The SMS widget for Apple’s Dashboard ranked high in Apple’s top 50 widget downloads for 9 months straight (frequently in the top 10). Macworld chose it as one of the top 10 Tiger widgets. It was even featured in an Apple email campaign promoting Mac OS X Tiger.

    CallWave now owns and powers the SMS widgets.

    I worked on a number of projects with millions of users:

    - Wrote the server application that held the friend/connection information for the social networking site.
    - Reigning office foosball champion**

    **Some people might claim that I'm not the champion, because the winner of the loser's bracket ended up beating me (the winner of the winner's bracket). Those people are idiots.
