Project

BrightFuse was a career-oriented social networking site that reached over 1.2 million registered users.

Members could interact with each other by joining any of the 800+ groups on the site, or they could create their own groups and invite others to join. They could also create extensive customized profiles containing work experience, RSS feeds, a blog, file uploads, widgets, and more.

I worked entirely on developing BrightFuse for 2.5 years. I was present from the very beginning, contributing to the conceptual design of BrightFuse as well as designing and implementing the n-tiered framework.

Over time, the BrightFuse team expanded from two developers to five. I was promoted to team leader to manage the other developers and the technical aspects of the site in general.
