Single-handedly executed several Flex and audio production client projects for Sauma.

Flex client, Java logic server, PHP Web all-around programmer in an ambitious project aiming to be the largest browser-based MMOG in the world: Hours of War. Responsible for several tasks requiring special expertise, such as audio DSP for the sound engine and communication protocols. The company was unable to raise finance in time for completion.

Developing a prototype version of an internal project management tool, using CakePHP and AJAX.

Splice was a Web Music Startup company way ahead of its time. Founded in 2006 with the development team in Barcelona and the management team in Chicago, we were the first ones to build a real Digital Audio Workstation solution on top of Flash Player, working entirely within the browser. And this was before Flash 10, which actually has some support for this kind of stuff, so you can only imagine the amount of hackery required. Unfortunately the company failed to find financing. Lately, several new companies have came up with similar services, such as Audiotool, SongHi, Remix Galaxy and Geisha Music.

20 credits of minor subject studies in the PhD in Computer Science and Digital Communication programme, run by professor Xavier Serra.
