Deeply impressed, both by the application and the incentive system making it possible.

Hi guys,

I would like to introduce myself. My name is Jag Sidhu and I am a Software Engineer from Canada with around 15 years experience..My github is http://github.com/sidhujag I have a degree in Computer Science (specializing in Digital Image Processing). I've done some cool projects, including a 3rd person multiplayer 3d shooter coded in opengl/c++, image morphing and recognition(c++) and a dynamically simulated AI app (c++) which can train a robot (bunch of hinges/boxes/springs) to learn how to walk over time using a genetic algorithm/neural network..  in the workforce I have picked up skills in the following through a variety of projects including client/server applications, php/mysql driven websites for part management/electronic change order process, Javascript web clients for industrial embedded servers running in MQX/Windows CE, scriptable DirectX based video player system to demo locally dimming LED backlit TV's (Yes I helped bring that technology to your local bestbuy, we were bought out by samsung.):

I love the idea of bitshares and being able to work on it and be compensated for my time . It makes my work day go way faster and have something to look forward to every day :)
I have done coding in the following coins:

Maxcoin (helped with qt port for build system)
Devcoin (helped with android-app, bitcore port for insight block explorer, merged-mining, port to 0.8.6\0.9.2\0.9.3 versions of bitcoin)
Syscoin (helped with merged-mining, aliases, offers, certificates on the blockchain)

There might be some others too but not worth wasting your time reading stuff you probably don't care too much for.
I made an auction website called devcoinauctions.com( http://devcoinauctions.com/welcome-landing ) that I wanted to compete against something like quibids.com... essentially offering a better service (with crypto's integrated)... however I haven't had much time to keep it going I still have plans to put up some new auctions on there... I developed it to be turnkey. I learned some skills doing it:
wordpress with wp total cache optimization
varnish cache http accelerator (VCL scripting)
nginx webserver
General dealings with static/dynamic content of web served files, Content delivery via CDN, DNS issues
Experience with SEO, Social awareness (twitter/facebook/google plus) and ad campaigns through ad sense/facebook

Optimizing websites by increasing YPage and Google speed scores (devcoinauctions.com is 99% efficient with 0.4s load time (when it had 25+ auctions going): http://gtmetrix.com/reports/devcoinauctions.com/CEMqSFnF, it can handle up to 5000 users at once without loss of serving integrity on a cheap server (500meg ram single core).

Backlog of work to do:

I've started integrating e-commerce plugins for bitshares and have done OpenCart so far, with hopes to complete 10 others before moving on to other projects (see below), the list of plugins are:

1) WHMCS Bitshares Plugin (https://www.whmcs.com/)
WHMCS is an all-in-one client management, billing & support solution for online businesses.

Opencart is a powerful open-source shopping cart platform for online merchants. Done

3) Ecwid Bitshares Plugin (http://www.ecwid.com/)
Ecwid offers the performance and flexibility you need, with none of the hassles you don't.

4) Zen Cart Bitshares Plugin (http://www.zen-cart.com/)
Zen Cart truly is the art of e-commerce; free, user-friendly, open source shopping cart software.

PrestaShop comes complete with over 310 features that have been carefully developed to assist business owners.

11) VirtueMart Bitshares Plugin (http://virtuemart.net/)

I hope to put these up in an e-commerce section of bitshares.org similar to how bitpay did.

This work is being funded by I3 funds based on a 7 week forecast (2 weeks in). I plan to support these and add WooCommerce/Joomla/magento  plugins after based on what community wants.

Some other projects that need to be worked on:

OpenBazaar - implement BitUSD processing here
Bitshares open market app - work on whatever here (maybe integrate the plugins I did above)

Basically I can work on anything.. I usually learn what I need to know. For me its always fun learning new things... I'm a can-do type of person usually never say "no can't be done". I usually just do it if it needs to be done.

Please vote for me as a delegate. I hope by the time that I finish the plugins I will be voted in and I can start working on other things.

Vote now!
