SimpliVPN Native Apps

SimpliVPN started as a mobile application I was building only on iPhone. This was a pet project I was working on to challenge myself that then turned into a business. I spent a year building the network and backend to make sure the structure was well built. After that I struggled through the mobile integration for Swift on iOS. Once I built the iOs version a released it, the release went extremely well, servicing over 4000 users. When the app was released, it was free with ads. After I saw the release went well and the app was actual very stable I decided to restructure the application to be paid only to increase revenue.

To account for the app being paid only, I knew the application had to be on all platforms to make it worth the price for customers. So that's what I spent the last year doing. I hired back one of my old employees and hired a few friends part time to work on the front end views as that's not my strongest. I decided to focus on making the backend API's we needed to be on all platforms, and focused on writing the native vpn code for all platforms since it was the most challenging piece. This was definitely a challenge for me since this involved right c++ code for native windows APIs, Kotlin for the Android Native VPN configuration, Swfit for iOS, and Objective-C for MacOS. Implementing custom vpn logic on all these different platforms required deep persistence on my behalf but also motivated me to make this application the best that I could. Currently we are going through a re-launch of the application on all platforms, which should happen in the next few months.

WebTrack

WebTrack is a rebuild of a legacy system the company I work for originally built in the early 2000s. The system is a widely used and customizable project management and tracking application. It is mainly used by large-scale manufacturers. My role in this project was to build the dashboard, expand on capabilities of the legacy system, fix browser compatibility, fix initial bugs, and to work on how files are viewed, managed, and edited.

Along with building the new WebTrack I also worked on the original legacy WebTrack system over the years. Some big changes I added to this system was adding zip bulk file upload and creating the transport service to check files in and out of the editing directory.

Amazon Bot

This Amazon bot was my first experiment with automated arbitrage. I designed this bot to take a keyword of my choice, search Amazon for products, and store prime products that meet my criteria in a database. Once in the database, the bot would curate a spreadsheet with the information to match eBay's upload format with a new price calculated so that I could profit from selling the products on eBay and drop shipping through Amazon. After running the bot for about a month, total profit was slightly over $200.

Email Finder Bot

This email finding bot was another growth hacking experiment. The goal was to be able to find a person's company email address only given their first name, last name, and company website URL. This was originally built with the idea to integrate this into a Chrome Extension for LinkedIn for marketing purposes.

The bot would scan the companies website for the email first if it wasn't already in db, then guess and verify guesses. Unfortunately, I did not have enough time to explore this further. The verification worked fairly well, with the exception of companies that use a catch-all email system.
