Team feedback
We had a wonderful experience working with Bill Colak. Bill showed a solid understanding of design concepts and creative development and had a positive attitude throughout the engagement. Bill is detail oriented and asks good questions. Jose and Bill worked very well as a team under trying circumstances due to the vendor and vendor product they were working with. Despite these frustrations, they persisted in their work. They did a great job presenting the bugs and issues of the product to the vendor in a professional manner. They created feedback mechanisms that were clear that worked well for the vendor and Planetary CARE. The program outcome was the very best possible within the constraints they were under. They did a great job completing their tasks and deliverables in a timely manner with a high level of quality. They were a pleasure to work with, and we wish them the best in their school and career!

Project Kelebek
September 1 - April 1

Project Kelebek is a web scraping and data analysis tool that uses node like visual for its operations similar to Unreal Engine and Houdini. This application uses many state of the art technologies such multithreading, asyncio, requests, aiohttp, lxml, Qt, QML and JavaScript. Personally I believe this project has a lot of potential to become a commercial software as it is easy to use and provides users flexibility on top of this appealing design.
