As lead developer of ArcherVision's various media sites and systems, I was responsible for architecting, developing, and deploying several cms-driven media properties. Our sites included thrivewire.com, which peeked at 100,000+ monthly page views, footballmatters.org, and thesurge.com. Initially, the platform was Ruby on Rails based, complete with a CMS.

I was hired by Ackerman to develop a modern presentation layer for Videodigm - their video management and publishing platform. Built on node.js (using express and YUI3), the isomorphic/universal and responsive solution was an immediate improvement (SEO, performance) over the Flash-based platform it replaced.

At Yahoo!, I was an engineer on the video platform team. We developed the video player experience used across all Yahoo! properties, and several tools for integrating video experiences and managing video content. Adobe Flash was heavily used in the first generation player, and later generations evolved to hybrid players supporting multiple delivery methods.

For Tribal, I planned, designed, and developed interactive web experiences such as games, mini sites, applications, and advertisements using Adobe Flash. I worked with customers and brands such as PepsiCo (Pepsi, Diet Pepsi, Sierra Mist), Frito Lay (Cheetos, Lays, Tostitos), Exxon Mobil, American Airlines, Product (RED), Bank of America and Nokia.

My job at Region 10 was to produce interactive tutorials for grade school subjects using Macromedia/Adobe Flash. I created graphics and diagrams using Adobe Illustrator and Adobe Photoshop, and then arranged them on slides with animations and audio.
