I'm working on lots of stuff right now (too much, actually.)

1. My long-term project that delivers university courseware dynamically 
to students via AWS. The company offers many different full-semester 
courses, with more in the pipeline. This is a fairly complicated system 
that interacts with a remote gradebook, tracks student activity and 
their scores, supports several types of multimedia, provides little 
in-app games, and much more. Besides writing the code that actually runs 
all the courses, I also needed to write automation software that allows 
the company to build and update the courseware from hundres of files on 
disk. Current problems are that the app can't load externals correctly 
on some Windows machines. I have no solution yet. For most students the 
app works well and is in use all over the U.S.

2. I'm also a team member for Brahmanathaswami's project to get the 
entire Hinduism Today web site into Android and iOS apps. This is an 
ambitious undertaking given the extent of their existing content. They 
have a beautiful site: <http://www.hinduismtoday.com/> So far, no 
particular problems outside of some bugs the LC team has corrected. The 
app will support artwork, quotations, music, narration, and more. This 
is fun stuff to work with. BR himself did much of the coding, I'm mostly 
implementing the mobile port and some optimizations.

3. An upcoming project involving healthcare and RFID tags. I will need 
LC help with an external for this one. I am currently researching 
various possibilities for implementation.

4. Eventual update to AirLaunch, my utility that seamlessly creates test 
iOS ipa packages directly from within LC. This one has to be on hold 
while I work on the other things. Dropbox will be suspending some html 
capabilities which could impact AirLaunch soon.

If I ever had time I'd also do some personal projects but that never 
seems to happen.
