EXAMPLES

SylvanSync

This iPad app is my proudest accomplishment. SylvanSync replaced paper and pencil based instruction with iPad based learning for thousands of students in hundreds of Sylvan learning centers nationwide.

As the sole iPad designer and developer, I was present for the entire application lifecycle - interviewing teachers, drafting a proof of concept, designing a web service architecture, conducting usability tests, launching, and updating.

Technical challenges solved included creating a high performance client/server architecture, developing handwriting and annotation tools, and seamlessly integrating native capabilities into HTML based lesson contents.

MapTastic

MapTastic is the fun and competitive way to learn US geography on your iPad. Learn US states, capitals, and cities and race against the clock to identify them all before time runs out. Then challenge your friends or the whole world to a high score to see who knows their US geography best.

 

ZipTunes

ZipTunes is a music app I created for your iPhone, and serves as alternative to the iPod music player app. ZipTunes is especially good at making playlists quickly, and offers a one of a kind user interface and user experience.

 

Party Game Timer

This is my first commercial iPhone app. I needed a random countdown timer to replace a timer from a word game. But when I could not find such a timer on the app store, this app was born, along with a new career.

 

Other Highlights

I created this jigsaw puzzle game prototype from scratch within a month as a research assignment I made water splash effects and bug fixes for Uncharted: Drake's Fortune on the PS3

 

I recently learned Android by making this sliding tiles demo to master the basics of layout, animation, and user interaction. See the full project on Github
