\item \emph{Major Political Party}: Created a high-performance national
  voter lookup service to aid their collaborators in sharing voter
  information and with locating and de-duplicating their large
  database. The service is implemented as a Ruby Rack endpoint in
  front of a MongoDB database. Also created a similar service in
