I was part of a team developing interactive multimedia in a broad spectrum of areas. My primary contribution was Flash Development, focusing on ActionScript 3.0 in the development of IMI Products. Secondary contributions were in the form of art assets (2D/3D) for marketing materials produced for various clients. I was the project leader for three products: IAKB Knowledge Manager, the IPAC-H60 IMI Training for Blackhawks, and the Help Guide for TAIS DACT (Dynamic Airspace Collaboration Tool). For each product I was required to manage a timeline, allocate tasks to team members, design interfaces, and develop content. I also developed content for the Army’s Command Post of the Future (CPOF) IMI Training. I assisted in code migration from AS2.0 to AS3.0, instantiated the use of Projects and Version Control, and built a unique, modular Quiz Component Library to use in the IMI products. I also provided assistance with various 3D Modeling projects.
