As a developer at Ogilvy Interactive I worked on a number of advertising campaigns and minisites including American Express, Flora, IBM and Persil. Role involved using Actionscript 3.0 from refactoring existing code as well as creating and architecting projects from beginning to end.
Role also involved myself development on top of a number of different flash dev frameworks from custom built frameworks to PureMVC.
Also had exposure to using Adobe In Runtime (AIR)
Have also been working across the Eclipse IDE during this role which I have gained experience with and have thoroughly enjoyed.
Recently have been involved in developing a robust survey framework for Ogilvy to reuse. Involved in all stages from architecture to development and unit testing.

Work as a developer for a kids web portal developing a custom built CMS to export xml fields for a 3D Flash site.
For this role have had plenty of exposure using PureMVC and Away3D lite.

After working at asos.com myself and a colleague decided to build a 3D World Prototype in Flash that we could skin for different clients. Powered using Away3D this prototype allowed the user to walk around and interact with different aspects of the world within a Flash Player 10 environment. We were very happy with our development result and are now seeking work to continue this prototype.
This world can be viewed at www.syerit.com (please click on think360 section).
There is also a labs section set up to view a static html

During this time I worked at a online fashion store called Asos.com based in North London. I worked there as a freelance developer working on online and offline product launches. This role gave me a lot of exposure to different many different external libraries including Papervision 3D, Away3D, WOW Physics Engine and tweening libraries. Clients include DIESEL, NorthFace and Amplified clothing. This role was solely using Actionscript 3.0 using the Adobe Flex Builder 3.0 IDE. Modules were completed using the PureMVC framework.

I worked on a four month contract for Arts Alliance Media working on a few different projects.
The first being a standalone flash module to watch trailers for films that were offered on the www.vizumi.com platform. Key implementation features being the fact that it was easily skinned to suit whichever external site it was located on as well as offered our company a variety of logging stats to prove user interaction.
I was then contracted to develop an online Administrative backend for the company to organize, price and sort metadata for all of their different buying options. This backend was developed in C# and used the latest Silverlight 2 technology.

Worked for MRM Worldwide on the Vauxhall account as a contracted flash developer.

Designing and developing stand alone flash applications and sites.

Working in a number of different programming languages to maintain http://www.tvnz.co.nz, the day to day interactive offering of the organisation.
As the designer and developer of flash video players available across all TVNZ sites, I have
built extensive video experience in both the streaming, and progressive downloading, methods of online viewing. These intuitive players support a seamless advertisement-serving solution as well
as the ability to traffic-track, enabling the monitoring of statistics for further analysis.
I have also demonstrated a flair for design while at TVNZ, learning about many relevant applications in the process. Working with several Project Managers, I have conceptually and visually designed and developed many online advertising campaigns, product launches and similar projects.
I have Grown accustomed to the many different systems and methods used to aid the development process and troubleshoot problems. These include FTP of files, source control, issue tracking and several different implementation platforms.
