OnAsia Images Ltd.
6th Floor Vanissa Building
29 Chitlom Road
Bangkok 10330, Thailand
Position: Systems Architect and Lead Developer
Details: A start-up company, OnAsia Images is a specialist Asian based stock photography agency that has built a collection of over 100,000 images for sales into the global news and editorial publishing channels.
At OnAsia I designed the company’s core image production and distribution systems – including an innovative approach to full-text search that allowed searches to be performed against inflectional forms of search terms as well as the correct handling of compound terms or phrases. Image production applications also included a successful subject classification system that allowed teams of keyworders to accurately keyword and classify images stored in the system. Despite initially limited resources, the systems developed at OnAsia were key to the company’s subsequent and successful fund raising activities. The systems at OnAsia were developed using VB6, the first release of ASP.NET, C# and Microsoft SQL Server.
