Developed and deployed NodeJS backend systems on IBM Bluemix infrastructure.

Built a connected dog collar using MBED, Arduino, Sparkfun, and AT&T technologies. Built a connected door lock with Arduino, NodeJS and AT&T APIs. Build a voice control system for Direct TV using Nuance NLU and AT&T technolgoy.

Aaron is great and knowledgeable. He managed to identify the source of the problem that I was trying to identify for the past week. Unfortunately, we couldn't solve the issue this time. I would still work with him again if needed.

Thank you for trying to fix our issues, even though we did not resolve in fixing our problem. No one on Codementor can as you are the 3rd expert to try and not be able to fix this ridiculous issue with HTTPS redirect loops.
