Givati-Compression

A smart and lossless data compression algorithm with a focus on repeating data structures like JSON/JSONH, network and language permeability, decompression without requiring a pre-agreed dictionary, and minimum size over speed. Compression and speed comparable to Lempel–Ziv–Welch (LZW)

I wrote a compression algorithm, hire me?

https://github.com/YoavGivati/Givati-Compression A smart and lossless data compression algorithm with a focus on repeating data structures like JSON/JSONH, network and language permeability, decompression without requiring a pre-agreed dictionary, and minimum size over speed. Compression and speed comparable to Lempel–Ziv–Welch (LZW) implemented in Javascript, PHP/Python coming soon. I'm a software engineer/entrepreneur with design sense. I have 8 years of programming experience and 5+ years of experience building cool interfaces / apps, and consulting for some well known people. Fast learner (I taught myself about data compression, conceived of and wrote this in 3 days). I've been a technical co-founder at a stock related startup and have managed a small team of developers. html5, node.js, mongo, mysql, php, flex, python, jsp/jstl I'm bu
