Mastery Test Shell : This is an actual web application implemented in Flash. The Mastery Test Shell delivers multiple- choice tests, as part of the training program for sales agents. The web application's content is specified in XML documents, and the results of the test are saved in a database via HTTP transactions to a database. Since the content of the test is held in XML documents, internationalization was particularly easy, requiring edits only to the underlying XML documents, with no changes required to the actual Flash movie.

The Mastery Test Shell is an evolving application. Due to my thorough object-oriented design, the test can be extended to incorporate interactive graphics, video and sound. While retaining the flexibility of an XML driven application.

Client: Kyocera Wireless, MEA Digital| Lead programmer: Michael Nardell| Project manager: Fernando Campos, Tara Woolley

Animations for Automotive Technicians : The Ford Motor Company needed to transform a CD-ROM training application for the web, however the original digital video animations where too large for presentation over the internet. By rendering 3-D models in Swift3D and animating in Flash, I was able to create rich instructional materials for the client.

Client: Ford Motor Company, IVID Communications | Lead programmer: Aaron Montgomery | Project manager: Beth Meyer

Dynamic Schematic Illustrations : By taking normally static illustrations and adding animation and highlighting in Flash, I was able to direct the student's attention to the exact topic of the lesson. Notice the careful synchronization of the voice over audio with animation events.

Kyocera Phone Demos : I did not work extensively on the design and implementation of Kyocera demos. However, I did help bring the "roll-up" navigation menu to life.

Qosmio Micro Site : I made several additions to the Qosmio microsite, including adding of menus, sound, and editing graphics.

I extended the functionality of this site, so that customer testimonials could be dynamically loaded with XML documents. The Flash movie allowed users to view over 800 customer testimonials, with a simple and intuitive user interface.
