As employee number seven of this ambitious start-up, my responsibilities focused on Ruby on Rails and iPhone development with considerable database design and MySQL administration. For my initial project I wrote a suite of tools for scraping information off the Google Android and Apple iTunes application stores, harvesting it into a relational database with daily deltas for data mining and trend analysis. The iTunes suite can scrape all sixty-two countries, nearly four million pages, in under six hours.
