Technology
As the sole web developer at Max Q Live for the duration of my stay, my tasks covered all areas of the web stack from design to front-end to back-end to general IT. The primary goal was to develop a demo website that could be shown to investors. The website comprised hundreds of pages designed in Adobe Photoshop and written mainly in HTML, CSS, and jQuery, with portions of PHP added to enable templating and speed up production.
Server management was also an occasional part of my job, managing a Linux/Apache/MySQL/PHP (LAMP) server and writing a few Bash scripts to streamline common maintenance tasks. Networking between servers, computers, and video cameras was also often necessary (along with some video editing) since the development of video streaming software is one focus of the company.
Unfortunately, Max Q Live is not accessible to the public at this time.
