In 2010 Alan Boris LLC led the technical development of an exciting new venture called SeeMeGetFamous. A site was developed that allows users to upload videos portraying their talent to be considered for inclusion in a national TV show. I led a team of designers, copywriters and developers to build and deploy the site. Instead of using off-the-shelf software or content management systems, the unique requirements dictated that we develop from scratch using ASP.NET. I coded all of the forms and the backend SQL database, while another developer coded the video upload portion. Yet another developer helped create the intricate back-end administration system used by SeeMeGetFamous staff to evaluate the uploads, respond to inquiries, bill customers and build the show’s edit decision list. This was a fun project where we had the opportunity to integrate a lot of interesting video technology. Because the client was starting from scratch, I also sourced all of the video editing software, stock footage and royalty-free music. In addition, I personally edited together the first episode which aired on three national cable networks!
