At Sierra-Bravo I was able to work with their huge team of developers (now the Nerdery) on a wide range of projects. Highlights include: programmatically animated UI for, a CMS and social media–integrated Flash “widget,” an XML-configurable banner ad with cue-point–enabled video player, and (my personal favorite) a Rock Band-style trade show booth game using Adobe AIR. Say that ten times fast!

• Developed UI elements & animations to meet various design, delivery & CMS-related requirements.
• Worked with a team of developers to build a XML-configurable banner ad that works at various sizes, and includes a video player, cue-point–integrated content, & social media integration.
• Designed and developed Rock Band-style game for a trade show booth display using Adobe AIR.

When freelancing I work both augmenting agency capabilities and also directly with my own clients. During this time, I worked with a designer to hand-code an XHTML, CSS, and JavaScript–based informational website for an environmental consultancy, and in the process taught myself the basics of the Dojo Toolkit. Also during this time, I worked with a Minneapolis-based marketing agency to complete two projects for end-client FedEx.

• Collaborated with freelance designer to create an XHTML, CSS, JavaScript based informational website for local business.
• Created Flash-based XML-driven, quiz, video player, and article viewer, with local marketing agency.
• Developed three distinct e-cards and incorporated them into an existing e-card–delivery architecture, with the same local marketing agency.

Working closely with 4 other developers at Puny, I helped build sites with massively varying UX requirements and goals. I'm proud to say that I was able to take a leadership role in the streamlining of development processes, including the adoption of an Agile methodology, and a MVC application architecture for games, micro-sites, and RIAs. We also worked diligently refining the relationship between Flash, CMSs, search engines, and alternative content.

As Lead Creative Developer at Azul 7, my work was focused in two main areas: full-browser experience-driven Flash sites, and CMS-driven and SEO'd interactive data visualizations. Here, I was able to work closely with a server-side developer and SEO specialist finding ways of delivering Flash content to search engines, and with a small team of highly skilled designers creating and concepting high-quality pixel-perfect interactive experiences.

• Developed rich interactive additions to dynamic content-driven sites, as well as creating several experience-driven full-browser Flash sites.
• Worked with server-side developer and SEO specialist to deliver Flash content to search engines.
