Outsourcing for local development companies.
As a co founder of a startup, I see different projects with different requirements. Part of the day to day, aside from development, is communicating with the client, defining requirements, defining work plans, testing, delivery, meetings.
During this time, since we provided website hosting as part of our services, is when I learned how to administer them using different technologies (manually, WHM & cPanel, Plesk, Web Server) or using predefined packages (Bitnami over Amazon AWS).
I also take care of researching technologies that would improve the work we do, by making sure we can automate as much as possible and focus on development only. We've handled clients locally in Costa Rica and also in Europe and the United States.
Website development with a variety of tools: ASP.NET, Flash, Flex, NodeJS, Solr, Drupal, Wordpress, Code Igniter, Amazon AWS.

Website maintenance and migration of a VoIP billing system from Perl to PHP The company had acquired a VoIP system that would handle invoicing and many system rules for calling locally and internationally. The web version management system was developed in Perl (and exposed using CGI) and seriously poorly coded. Team developers were experienced in other technologies that were not web related. Upper management decided that it would be easier to migrate the platform from Perl to PHP. My tasks were related to providing a base framework that could expose services that could be used by different endpoints. The website, their VoIP client called VoxOx.
