Life, work, and play of a lost soul.
Web projects I am currently developing either for myself or for others. I really enjoy developing web projects, I am skilled with core technologies such as CSS 3, HTML5, XHTML, PHP, and Javascript / ALAX. Also I am skillful with more advanced web technologies such as LESS. As a server administrator I am capable of handling anything from a simple LAMPP Set up to more advanced Clusters and Mutli-Server set ups.
I am currently assisting with the development of Rikvin.com, as well as developing several of my own web projects which I will be releasing in the coming months.

My "other" side is that of a Producer, Organizer, and Promoter for both large-scale music festivals, dj events, and concerts as well as Managing, and Directing Internationally renowned Nightclubs.
Current projects include the Together Festival, Pixel Rocks, as well as nightclub projects in Thailand and Singapore.
I also involve myself with other kinds of industries based on my personal interests which range from nightlife to fashion to technology to the arts. Currently I am working with Steve Aoki to bring his clothing brands to Asia. I also do Business Development and Brand/Project matching as well as assist with Fund Raising and Mentoring of start-ups of all kinds.
My partners for various projects include THG, AG Productions (Thailand) / RETOX, WAM, Dim Mak, SPE Partners, Indochine Group, We.Banditz among others.
A massive online music library (we had over 4 million songs indexed in our database) that offerred user-defined playlists. This was way before it's time and eventually was ripped apart and sold off for its technology. It was actually because of this company that I ended up living in Singapore!
Some of Soundpedia's innovative technology has yet to be replicated anywhere else on the web, merging one of the most advanced Social Netowrking platforms together with our unqiue streaming technologies which paired p2p (user-to-user similar to skype) with hosted media content both locally on our servers by registered artsits and distribution partners and remotely via various existing media repositories.
The Original Bit Torrent Search Engine. It was actually first developed by SMASH (a.k.a. Ben Guild), Admittedly I was not skilled when I took this site over a long long long time ago.
After quickly growing from a novice php / html developer to a knowledgable System Administrator and Software Developer having mastered everything from bash scripting / command line to optimization of squid caching, httpd media-specific handler, IP table firewalls and load balancing to mysql to programming of web applications.
Originally an offshoot of Bitoogle source code, Yotoshi eventually became an all AJAX Bit Torrent and file search engine.
Yotoshi also pioneered authentification protocols for files being shared as torrents through as well as helping other developers with hosting and gaining traction with users online
