Where have I been?
I’ve been extremely busy for the past five months and just this week that I have time to breathe. So what have I been doing?
New venture in Thailand real estate
Launched a real estate venture in Thailand. Check it out here http://www.tk-property.com . (Guess where the name comes from!).
TinyMassive
Three months ago I joined Lightmaker as software developer. Right off the bat I was assigned to work on TinyMassive.com. Ironically, there’s nothing tiny about this project. The ultimate idea behind this website is to combine Ebay, Amazon, FaceBook, and Shopping.com into one e-commerce platform. The sprint for this project is crazily aggressive, there are a number of 90 hours weeks.
RESAAS.com
After TinyMassive, I continued to work with LightMaker on their next project, RESAAS.Com, the software-as-a-service real estate/MLS lisitng web engine. This time my role is developer consultant. It was a nice break from TinyMassive.
BODYGLIDE.com
The most recent project was BodyGlide.com. This is my first full time project with Lightmaker and my role is the lead developer. The project itself was a great success (the customer was extremely happy with the result). The turnaround time was record breaking (2 weeks and 2 days). But the thing that surprised me the most was that nobody on my team has ever done anything with flash before 2 weeks ago. It was exactly 2 weeks and 1 days ago that I cranked out the first HelloWorld in ActionScript and started architecting a flash application. It’s amazing what human can do when there’s enough pressure and motivation.
What’s next?
At the end of BodyGlide project, I accepted Lightmaker’s full-time offer and it’s a new beginning for my career. So after my Christmas break, I’ll be going full steam ahead on the next project. 
For now, I’m just having fun with ASP.NET MVC and StructureMap.
