I worked for Cambrian House from August 2006 through February 2007 after I uncovered their plans while they were in stealth mode.
I maintained CambrianHouse.com (a PHP site eventually using the Zend Framework) by automating deployments (and shortening them from 60 minutes to 3), cleaning up broken HTML and CSS, adding JavaScript features, moving database access from views to functions and ORM, and adding lots of since-mostly-removed functionality in user profiles, content management, videos, voting, forums, and much more. I also did all of the programming behind IdeaForge, the subsite for developing crowdsourced business plans.
I entirely built the since-closed IdeaWarz.com, the selection engine of Cambrian House’s crowdsourcing of business plans. I took the original PSD comps and transformed them into a highly-interactive site that integrated closely with the main CambrianHouse.com (including cross-domain logins). It had a complex graphic design (which did not survive its transition into archive.org), user-submitted content, voting, and commenting.
I also helped out on various projects including Prezzle, NorseForge, Gwabs, Follow the White Laptop, Robin Hood Fund, others that never saw the light of day.
