Matt Brubeck

I'm working at a stealth-mode startup building software for mobile phones using JavaScript, jQuery, CSS3, and HTML5. I contributed optimizations to the open-source ActiveJS library, including a 3× speedup of large SQL queries.

I worked on blist's front-end interface (Adobe Flex) and back-end services (Ruby on Rails), building an easy-to-use, online spreadsheet/database application.

My team owned Seller Central, Amazon's website for third-party merchants. I wrote front-end and back-end code in Perl, C++, Ruby, JavaScript, and Java.

I designed, built, and operated the highly-available content management system that displays the help pages on Amazon.com, Seller Central, and other Amazon sites.

After seven years I returned to the company that I helped start in 1996, now a mature full-service web development agency.

I worked with clients and designers to build web sites and applications. I administered GoTech's LAMP development server, and launched sites for dozens of clients including Seattle YMCA, 511.org, and Intercity Transit.

I implemented a new user interface for a geographic profiling program used to investigate serial violent crimes. I wrote the Visual Basic and C++ bindings to connect Microsoft's MapPoint GIS interface to ECRI's profiling engine.

With two other lead developers, I managed the development of a free, open-source audio editor for Linux, Mac, and Windows.

I programmed in wxWidgets/C++, introduced gettext-based i18n, coordinated the localization team, managed builds and releases, maintained the Debian package, and created the Audacity web site.

As a summer job during high school, I was a founding employee at an early web development startup. I implemented GoTech's first client projects, which included electronic medical forms and intranet sites.
