urbanmapz

I inherited the actionscript component of this project in October 2008. The site was already live but in need of some love to allow easy extension in order to satisfy the ambitious ideas of the site’s owners.
Urban Mapz is your comprehensive one stop guide to the high streets and shopping centres, helping you to get [...]

Dealerward

Dealerward is a supplier of bespoke furniture for corporate businesses. They were looking to update their website with a flash portfolio of images from their completed projects. Working with a couple of back-end developers and a designer I created the flash element in Actionscript 3 building ontop of the PureMVC meta-design pattern.
The back-end was built [...]

Fortunity – Personal Finance Education Group

The Personal Finance Education Group is an independent charity helping schools to plan and teach personal finance relevant to students’ lives and needs. Edcoms hired me as lead developer on this 5 month project to produce an isometric game to teach kids how to deal with their personal finances.
The isometric game engine was built on [...]

Midnight Club – Rockstar Games

Midnight club is a successful franchise for Rockstar Games who called me to help out on the PSP port of the racing game. This was my first commercial experience of development for the handheld device and it proved to be an exciting, demanding and tiring one!
My role was in creating the in-game menus [...]

The recordings are added to the user’s profile, friends can then overlay duets and harmonies and members can vote on and rate each others performances. There are [...]

The Public Gallery

This project occupied me for the majority of 2007. The publicly funded gallery has been something like 8 years in the making and is due to open to the public in summer 2008. The state-of-the-art space will be filled with an ever-changing roster of interactive art works. My mission (which I chose to accept!) was [...]

Port of London Connections Atlas

Another map but this time not a mashup; the graphics were created by David Godyski at Futura (Now Creative Director at SEK & Grey in Finland ) Backend and Flash component integration were handled by Matt Glover and my input was the creation of the map component.

The original site for the Port of London [...]

Good Technology – audi.co.uk

During January and March 2008 I took a freelance role at Good Technology (GT) where I was asked to contribute to a variety of projects including a number of interactive flash pieces for Audi.

Timescales were typically short – usually 1 or 2 days – so it was important to work quickly and efficiently. The PureMVC [...]

Global Radio News Correspondent Map

This Yahoo maps mashup (AS2) was produced for GRN’s new-look website in early 2008.

Yahoo maps were chosen as they are built in Flash rather than as AJAX/Javascript modules. Personally I prefer the look and feel of Google maps but this project had a very tight schedule and the added time overhead of integrating with javascript [...]
