Portfolio



Ebay Mobile Commerce Infographic

The eBay Mobile Commerce component is a dynamic infographic application that allows users to explore a wide set of targeted mobile transactions over the course of a one year timeline. A scalable system supporting over 30,000,000 transactions for launch, the system ties a Flash front-end to a Microsoft Azure back-end environment with Google Maps being used to facilitate the presentation and plotting of user defined, geo-targeted, and category specific transaction animations.

Heavily dependent on a fast, reliable and scalable back-end, the eBay Mobile Commerce component required a cloud environment to handle the millions of records and computations. The back-end used PHP and sql to parse raw user geographical data, communicate with the database and computate reliable records, all with the user-experience in mind.

This project was produced by Kolody Inc and with a complete success but unfortunately is past its lifespan and is no longer available in the public domain.

McDonalds Consumed by Coffee

The McDonalds Consumed by Coffee Facebook application was promotional property designed to create awareness of McDonald's Free Coffee Weeks. The application allows users to manipulate and share portrait images with Facebook friends based on a user's average daily coffee consumption. A bilingual - English and French - execution, supporting a guided/stepped image selection, manipulation and sharing process, the application was built using Flash to allow for a high degree of fun and user engagement throughout the experience.

This project fuses the power of social media and flash to create a rich user experience that is easily sharable.

Sample Application (Not Maintained)

TORO Magazine: Photo Archive Application



TORO iPhone app will serve as an entry point to view and add to a living archive of Canadian events and locations. Location based services and the ability to compare current vs old photos uploaded by you the user, combined with historic reference, date and time make the app a wonderful way to view events, catalogs and places in our country.

This project is designed for iPhone devices with its front-end coded in Objective-C with PHP powering it's back-end. Objective-C handles the user experience, smoothly animating between sections and images, delivering clear and balanced information. PHP is responsible for image processing, data retrieving and user/gallery management. The application also makes use of social media outlets such as Facebook and Twitter to easily share experiences.
