Create Your Own Recipe
Jan 2
This is one of a series of online applications for Fine Cooking that allows members to create a recipe by dragging and dropping ingredients. You can adjust the recipe and then print it out or save it to your “favorites” on the site. This was built in Flex with the data in XML, and it integrates with a dot net web service for saving.
A Flash-based game that allows entrants to design a sewing room from a choice of decor options including furniture and equipment from the game’s sponsors. I created all the art for the background and incorporated photos from the sponsors. I then assembled and coded the whole thing in Flex 3 in about a week.
The game has proven very successful, with over 5000 entries in less than a month, greatly increasing the site’s traffic and memberships. It has been the largest traffic draw the site has ever had.
A simple Flex-based application for people to easily listen to the proper pronunciation of the latin names of plants, for Fine Gardening.
A multi-chapter set of videos and content aimed at beginning woodworkers. Originally hand-coded in Flex 3 with the Akamai API, later updated to use the Brightcove API.
A site I created for a “lifestyle” mall outside Hartford, Connecticut. I used PHP/MySQL so that non-technical personnel could easily add events and special offers via a simple form-based interface.
The Flash animation on the home page was designed to be easily switched seasonally. I also took the photographs of the mall seen in the slide show.
Finance.com
Oct 9
Finance.com was a consumer-oriented financial information site from Citigroup. I began this site while I working for the e-citi group at Citibank. Working with a small team, I devised the tag line, develooped the look & feel, and contributed to the editorial tone of the site.
The site was quite popular, but was ultimately discontinued by Citibank at the end of 2000.
