Just fyi, your links are formatted for Markdown but won't parse b/c HN doesn't use any kind of Markdown, it's almost pure raw text [1].
Best way is just include them inline, or with a footnote marker [2] and the actual link at the end.

Off topic, but re. your [1] above:
How does one get to know of such links on HN? :)
I might have not looked closely enough, but it does not seem to be linked to from anywhere on the main HN site.
Also looked at the Guidelines and it is not there either.
Following is my experience and list of projects with links. (The same is on my gist https://gist.github.com/sravfeyn/13534c67812183235a2c )
Some of projects are on [my github](http://github.com/sravfeyn)

I shipped products outside of College/Work
------------------------------------------
* I hacked around [our campus shared-ssh spaces](http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3554318) to [automate file-sharing via peer-server-peer](https://github.com/sravfeyn/SparkDC), when the campus LAN was blocked.
* I created an [instant-search for movies](http://instamovi.com), when I realized more movie buffs like myself want quick ratings, trailers for movies as they type in names.
* I fixed [event-publishing in our campus](http://www.iitdevents.appspot.com/SetupCalenders), with an automated event update system, that scans for events on FB pages, Google Calenders of our campus boards.

I have worked in a high-tech start-up
-------------------------------------
I worked in a [high-tech Valley based start-up](https://angel.co/hachi) as a tech intern and then as tech consultant when I figured out start-ups are where my solutions can address a million-people's problems.
I pushed code in first week, solved problem of finding network reach (# of people you can connect to using your FB, LI, TW friends) until four degrees. Latter, I PoC-ed a new Architecture for improving search speed (based on six fields in a combined graph of FB, LI, TW. It's an awesome product for networking, you should [check-out](http://gohachi.com)). We brainstormed and after great set of changes from team, started implementing it.
This speed can only be possible at start-up
I loved it and I decided to work for a start-up where the most awesome people solve hardest problems making life simpler and a little magical.
