Experience
==========

(1)
Founder, Software Architect and Web Developer 
Exanetics.com, Mysore
December 2005 – Present

Created PawBill ( http://www.pawbill.com ) from scratch - a billing, support and automation solution for web hosts.

I was responsible for coming up with the idea, designing the product and implementing it using PHP and MySQL as the backend database. The user interface consisted of a javascript intensive, AJAX driven front end using the libraries prototype and scriptaculous. The architecture of the application consisted of APIs to drive the database, modular system to add future functionality without touching existing functionality and Smarty templates to modify the look of the application without touching the code. The application followed Model-View-Controller (MVC) architecture.

Some of the important features I worked on are:
 - Credit card encryption, decryption (using AES) and storage routines
 - Payment gateway integration with Authorize.net, PayPal and Google Checkout
 - Domain registration integration with eNom and ResellerClub (Directi)
 - Account provisioning integration with cPanel/WHM
 - Support ticket system with client support portal
 - PDF invoice generation
 - Drag and drop support across iFrames
 - TinyMCE integration to compose emails

A demo of the application is available on the PawBill website.
