Description
Mobiquity is a very cool and unique consulting firm with an in-house development team, specializing in mobile technology. I was hired in May (started working in June) when there were approximately 15 people at the company. As of November 2011, there are about 120 people.
Many corporations want to get in on this "mobile technology thing" but have no idea how to go about it (Build an app? Get a Twitter account?) we come in, research the company/industry/audience, and give workshops, make suggestions, and fix up the online and mobile presence of the client.

Yeah, yeah, everyone who pimps themselves on LinkedIn has "founded a company," right? I can picture you now, rolling your eyes as you see "founder" for the umpteenth time on one of these profiles -- what is this, another consulting company with a wordpress site that's never had a client?

Actually... my company got on Gizmodo! Yes, we *really* sell things, and they're pretty freaking awesome things. Orders are rolling in and we have actual employees wih an actual office! (Sorry -- can you tell I'm excited about this?) We bought the domain name in July, l

Description
I worked in the Mazur group, in the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences. I developed a social networking website in Drupal, designed for researchers and academics to provide informal reviews of scientific publications. Although the site never went live, it's still theoretically in development... Honestly, I have no idea what's going on with that project, but it was fun building it!
In addition, I maintained several other Mazur group websites.

Position
Intern
From
Jun. 2008 - Aug. 2008
Description
I worked with a team to develop an inter-office collaboration system. We posted a giant touch screen in the office (with the hopes of rolling out others around campus) which you could send work-related tweets to (we used a hashtag system to determine which boards displayed which tweets), log into your individual account, view a calendar, take pictures, view traffic displays, weather, send messages -- all in 2008!

Microsoft
Position
Intern
From
Jun. 2006 - Aug. 2006
Description
This was back before the big September 2006 release of all their Windows 2007 stuff. I was working on Microsoft Office Project, making sure that it was compatible with IE7. I spent my days testing, finding the most severe bugs, following up with the developers to make sure they were resolved, and writing test automations in C# that were published the the official MS test automation database. My 17 year old self thought that was pretty awesome.
Mostly, I took advantage of the free Mountain Dew.

Intern
From
2005 - 2005
Description
This was an amusing job. I worked as a high school intern, doing video editing and minor programming/server admin projects. I wrote a Perl script that wrote and compiled Java code (much to the chagrin of just about everyone in the office -- many of whom had actually created Java). I heard through the grapevine a couple years later that this piece of software was _still being used_, up until they were bought out by Oracle. Crazy.
