PROJECTS: |
|
RingJam (Emotive Communications) - Emotive has been my client since May 2007. I work with a great team as the Lead Developer for this innovative company. Their product is a mobile application called RingJam. I am currently redesigning the backend with multiple Ruby on Rails application servers, and XML, XHTML, MySQL, NginX and lots of other technologies. Currently supports millions of users, upcoming version will support many more with a vastly increased concurrency capacity and dramatically reduced overhead.
Sundance Channel Island and NBC Hockey (Electric Sheep Company) - Working with the Electric Sheep Company in Second Life, I developed all interactive components on Sundance Channel Island via the Electric Sheep Company. I also developed NBC Island's Hockey game. Early Dot-Com Period Projects: Beginning in 1994 I became self-employed at age 17 in SoHo, NYC. I designed numerous websites for high-profile clients, developed custom software in Perl, Smalltalk, Java and C, and administered Linux and Unix systems, all under the semi-antiquated title of "Webmaster" Highlights "Embrace the Chaos" - Developed this early online game in Lingo, produced as a promotion for Jim Taylor and Watts Wacker's book "The 500 Year Delta"
