Since 2007 I have been working with professional clients and companies to develop websites. Originally I coded in HTML using PHP in the backend enabling me to expand my knowledge with server-side code to create more dynamically driven websites. In the summer of 2008 I began working with a small development company, NimbleUser, where I quickly picked up ASP.NET and C#. Since then my professional focus in web development has been using ASP.NET with C# codebehind or Visual Basic, a focus I hope to continue after graduation.

As a Freshman at R.I.T. I began learning to code in ActioSnsript 2.0, followed by Actionscript 3.0 in 2007. This was the first Object Oriented coding language I ever programmed in and soon began to love it. Earlier versions of my portfolio were programmed in Actionscript 3.0, versions I still play around with attempting to increase the efficiency and extend my knowledge of the language.

Part of my education as a New Media Interactive Development student includes classes in design and animation. While design has never been my speciality, I have learned the basics and can come up with designs and offer input when needed and required. In the winter quarter of 2010 I completed a 2D animation class and this quarter I am furthering this by taking a 3D animation class to further develop my skills in design and animation.

Touch Screen Device for Ages 55+

April 2008

Programming Languages: Actionscript 3

Software: Flash, Photoshop, Illustrator

For our second project in my Design of Graphical User Interfaces we were asked to design, and test a touch screen device for adults above ages 55 and later develop a computer-based version as our final project. Leading up to the development we were required to complete an entire project life-cycle similar to that of many professional companies. From documention, case studies, and user testing I designed my own version of an iPhone with larger buttons and a more text based interface. After multiple rounds of user testing and redesigns I settled on this design and then coded it in Adobe Flash.

The code is simply a set of multi-dimensional arrays which contain objects as both the keys and values. These are used to connect buttons to the screen it should move to when pressed.
