Notch is a post production company based in Toronto. Their new website was produced by Loop Media. My role was to do all of the Flash programming, as well as to implement a Drupal content management system that would allow Notch control all of the content that is publicly displayed in their showreels Artists section. Their new website, also implements client portals, where media assets can be securely shared with Notch's clients. Visit site: www.notch.ca
Dex TV was a live financial news show that streamed over the web. My job was to design and program their new video player, incorporating many new features, while at the same time upgrading all of the Flash elements to ActionScript 3.0. The new video player handled 3 types of video streams (a live stream from Akamai, archived videos from Amazon's S3 servers, and ads from SpotXChange's ad servers). Unfortunately Dex TV ceased to exist when their parent company, Brookshire, a financial management company, went bankrupt. But it was innovative and exciting while it lasted.
The Which Hue is You banner ads were part of a series of Back to School Flash banner ads that I programmed. They were produced by TraffikGroup and Maclaren McCann.

The African Canadian Legal Clinic's new website was written and produced by Mark Thompson. My role in the project was the graphic design and programming.
The ACLC website was an exciting opportunity. It was exciting because they are a great organization that helps many Canadians in a very positive way. I was honored and privileged to help. It also presented an interesting design challenge. The ACLC has two target audiences, each with separate the needs: African Canadians seeking legal advice, and legal practitioners that are coming to the ACLC's website as a legal resource. The website has proven itself to be an invaluable instrument for the ACLC.

The AlphaDrop game was produced by Zincroe Design. The illustrations were done by Jerrold Conners, and the sound was by Kyle Sim. My role in the project was to come up with a concept for a non-violent version of hangman, that was also fun and compelling; suitable for kids at the Toronto Public Library (the client for whom the alphadrop game was produced). It was also my responsibility to animate and program the game as well as implementing a system of database-driven hang-man puzzles, so that the Toronto Public Library can create and revise their own AlphaDrop puzzles.

My role in the Laura Jane Photography project was to do both programming the site that visitors see in flash and to set up and configure a Drupal installation where Laura Jane can upload, modify and edit the photos that appear in the galleries on the site. The Flash front end communicates with the Drupal backend via Flash-remoting utilizing the Sevices and AMFPHP modules.
