• Senior Node.js/PHP engineer on server side technologies for securely delivering enterprise applications to mobile devices. It does this by running everything on the server. The client only shows an interactive movie of the app so no data is exposed. The initial server side was written in Node.js, java, and c++. I was responsible for all of the Node.js part, and elements of the c++ part. To provide further security, in the latest version, I ported the node and java parts to php under Laravel to allow SOS/SAML secure logins with simplesamlphp. I also moved the entire system from LAMP to Windows Server/SQL Server to take advantage of SQL Servers security features.
