Being at the forefront of ground breaking gamification, I applied game mechanics and game design techniques, to make technology more engaging. Whilst taking advantage of people's psychological predisposition to engage in gaming, I solved real life problems, for example, teaching children about a historical castle through an interactive tour guide game.One of the projects I'm particularly proud of is when I applied gamification techniques to encourage people to perform tasks that they ordinarily consider boring, such as exercising. As the lead Nokia researcher I pioneered mobile healthcare research, and spearheaded the design of the mobile app under the pan-European collaborative healthcare research initiative MyHeart, funded by the European Council, in association with Philips.I designed the mobile user interaction & interface for a a digital application distribution platform MUPE that was later incorporated into Nokia Ovi. It was an ecosystem that allowed the development & distribution of apps & games to devices across multiple platforms, equivalent to an early Apple App Store.Back in 2001 I developed early MMS concepts, at the time a technology of the future, that were showcased at different technology events around the world to illustrate the future direction and evolution of mobile technology.I have two user interface patent applications, WO/2008/050175 & WO/2008/047207.
