Portfolio - Cristian Scutaru, Vancouver/Canada
 |  |  |
| Over my 20 years of software development and design experience, I realized - either by myself or within teams of fellow software engineers - dozens of software development projects and websites. I continue today to work as an independent freelance developer. If you'd be interested in such services, please take a look at my portfolio below. It shows some of my own websites and other interesting personal projects. | ||

Model Xtractor
is a complex platform for online class diagramming on preloaded metadata from
.NET frameworks, database models, ActionScript, PHP, VBScript, IDL and more.
I designed and implemented this website in 2010, with ideas from a US own Patent Pending I had in 2000,
while I was working at Microsoft, and didn't have time enough to advertise it yet.

Get Money, Canada! is my most recent website, just launched at mid March 2011, a huge directory/catalog of advertised grants, loans, scholarships, awards etc in Canada.
Birthday Party Locations
is a succesful commercial website that I created in 2006, daily visited by thousands of parents and children
looking for places from North America where they can have their birthday party anniversaries.
It is an application for vertical markets, with thousands of locations that can be found and listed in a Google-style
interface, using eventually Google Maps for better user experience. Locations are grouped by themes,
which are better described in a WordPress PHP blog.
XtractPro
is my personal professional blog, where I publish open-source projects and that I use to advertise my software
development services for new potential clients.
I designed and implemented this blog from scratch, in ASP.NET, back in 2006-2007, because I wanted full control
on any possible plugin or widget I would publish here.

Best City Reviews
is one website that I created in only one month, in November 2008, with custom PHP development
under WordPress Content Management System. It is an application for vertical markets, that collects
different rankings for cities in the world and provides Data Analysis statistics and views.
It uses Google Maps and other third-party components or APIs.

UserAgent at XtractPro
is a website that collects, parses and documents signatures from the UserAgent string sent by browsers,
web crawlers and other online tools. Tokens are recognized by specific patterns.
Agents are grouped by categories. There are four top categories - Browsers, Platforms, Tools and Crawlers - each with subcategories.
I designed and implemented this relativelly small website back in in 2007,
initially as an experimental project and subsite of the current blog. It is still today the only website of this kind on the Internet,
that documents hundreds of Agents found within USER_AGENT browser signatures.

Jobilee was a website and Windows service I created in 2004, with over 1,000 individual job advertising parsers for Canadian company websites. Unfortunately, I cancelled the project and sold the domain because of other needs and opportunities. But also because I was trying to capture the US market as well, instead of moving in with the Canadian website. Only three years later I've seen successfull websites using the same concept, like Eluta.ca or Indeed.ca. Read More »
Strip Generator was a Flex ActionScript 3 prototype I worked on for a few weeks back in 2007, intended for a public website where users were able to create and customize comic strips from separate images. A talented friend of mine was providing vectorial illustrations, designed with Flash CS3, and I was in charge of all the programming aspects. The project has been postponed, but you can take a look at the live SWF online prototype. Read More »
ANI (from Automatic Number Identification) was a two-part system I fully designed, implemented, owned and rented to Bell Canada resellers of regional long distance services between 1993-1997. Metropolitan cities such as Montreal, Ottawa, Quebec City and Sherbrooke (where ANI was installed), had long distance calls between banlieu areas. But each long distance call from the North Shore to the South Shore could be converted into two chained local calls, through a Telecom Switch installed in the Island of Montreal. ANI was the combination of the Switch box, controlled by a C program I wrote, on a Unix/Linux system, and the remote Microsoft Access database and user interface I also designed, from the Payroll and Administration Office.
Visual LinX was a small but powerful standalone Windows application, written in Visual Basic using COM/ActiveX back in 2000, used to explore directly, in a friendly and hierarchical manner, any type of desktop or client-server database records.
Situatii is my personal non-technical Romanian blog, with a separate English version. I no longer had time for it, but it was pretty popular within my circle of Romanian friends.
Brose the category "Portfolio" for many other small project I published as open-source on this technical blog, lots of them inspired from bigger projects I worked on for my employers or customers over the years.
