The project was developed in Unity for Android and IOS and the website via Visual Studio for the purpose of keeping everything language similar.

SiLAS

Mobile / WebGL - 2025

After having developed a successful stand-alone educational game for children (see below), I was asked to lead development of a browser-based version of the same title. This included a web portal, user licensing and revised application intended for use by entire school districts as well as individual teachers. This application was developed with a virtual reality product to come in the near future.

SiLAS

SiLAS has a multitude of applications specific to teaching individual speech and language skills. SiLAS promotes interest in learning and provides students with the visual and auditory feedback they need to store those skills in long term memory. Most importantly SiLAS provides students with the opportunity to correct their own answers and assess their own performance. Overall, we have observed a significant increase interest in technology based programs in the field of speech and language pathology.

You can tap a part on the model and see how it is taken apart to reassembled. You can look for possible causes to why the item isn’t working correctly and… you, who previously didn’t know much about the scanned part… can now follow step-by-step visual instruction and fix it yourself. You have now just imagined what this app can already do.

MEA

Developed for Publicis Life Brands and very similar to MAPP, this application was developed more specifically for conferences and meetings within the company. No longer do employees need to carry books and papers but rather just their iPad. Walk into a conference, sync with the server and for each presentation on stage, they have on hand all the video, audio and documentation.

Gilotrif “My Treatment”

Boehringer Ingelheim contracted an application specific to their medication that allowed consumers to track their administration of the tablet. Customers could keep track of the taking of their medication in a diary, track their moods, have doctor contacts on hand and review any and all related information related to the drug. This became a tool not just for the patient, but also for the patient’s doctor.

Frantic Freddy

Frantic Freddy is a game about a guy who’s fear of bugs has driven him crazy. Seeing bugs come at him, he has to stomp and squish them before they bite him in this increasingly difficult platformer. The animation for this game was created in house using two Xbox kinect cameras and software to track a person.

ABC TheO

I met with Rick Malagodi, CEO of Physical Apps, while at the GDC conference in 2012. He showed me his ball which acted like a case for a mobile device that can be thrown around. He told me he was looking for apps that would work with the ball. A few weeks later he contacted me looking for an ABC children’s application for the iPhone.

MAPP

Developed for Boehringer Ingelheim, this application allows pharmaceutical representatives have all the tools they need on hand to learn about the products they are selling and to show their clients those details when needed. This application synchronizes with a server to keep all PDFs and other data on a tablet. Add a client, assign related documents and the representative is ready to walk into a meeting with all the information they need about a product or products. The project required the creation of both the application and the server with which assets would wirelessly synchronize. A level of optimization was required that could allow hundreds of clients to synchronize hundreds of files simultaneously.

Nexterra Space Simulator

Nexterra Foundation Inc. is a Physical And Earth Sciences Research Institute in Millerton, New York. They requested I develop a desktop application for Mac that maps out stars and planets within a 10 parsec distance. Approximately 340 objects spin in real time and represent realistic size and distance. Tap on one to view details. zoom in to see characteristics and zoom out to see the universe as a whole.

Pradaxa

Boehringer Ingelheim contracted an application to show how their drug works to reduce blood clots which can cause strokes. It was an interesting coincidence that my mother experienced a stroke during development and I found the information to be quite useful in my understanding of the drug and my mother’s condition. This application was primarily an interactive video that had scripted points within the video that allowed the viewer to drag the drug through the arteries or other interesting places and get a better understanding of how it works within the body. This was a great implementation of producing what felt like an interactive video to the user apply seamless transitions between real video and interactive elements.

Afatinib

You may have seen commercials of people walking with elephants and wondered the connection to a certain drug. Spiriva is a drug to help people with COPD breath better and get that elephant off your chest.

Spiriva

The game was to be a fast-paced racer through tunnels representing arteries. Pickup up medication and avoid viruses. At the end… complete a quiz for the chance to win a prize. We pulled off quite the success.

Continuum Content Management System

Web Programming Highlights

When I started making websites in the early 2000’s I was either programming straight HTML or trying to work with PHPNuke. PHPNuke was a popular Content Management System modular in design allowing customization and drop-in functionality. The more I used this CMS, the more I understood it’s inner-workings… and the less I enjoyed feeling stuck with whatever they had developed. My solution was to create my own CMS. Using PHP and MySQL as the base, I developed a completely modular CMS. With extra security layers, I am proud to say it hasn’t been broken in the more than 10 years it’s been online. I’ve had the honor of developing over 100 modules for myself and my clients.

IGotYourEmail

Web Programming Highlights

Back when I was still working in the PHPNuke CMS, I developed my own mailer system. I offered it for free to the community and what I got back was an outstanding education in programming. I took these lessons and used them to develop my own stand alone application for sending out bulk emails. A few years later, I threw in all the bells and whistles and created a system that could stand up to Constant Contact. However, without the infrastructure of a large workforce behind us, we offered it to large corporations as a brand-able product to use in-house.

IGotYourIndex

Web Programming Highlights

My company found a need to gather and review tracking information for websites and at the time we didn’t like anything that was offered online. In developing our own, we have since been able to tailor it for use in applications, games and other software. This tracking has been quite the valuable tool for us in understanding the usage of our apps and how to improve them for our customers.

AskFoyle

Web Programming Highlights

Don’t mind the funny name. One of my experiments of understanding the web and indexing turned into my recreation of Google… or what I think it could be. I was able to create my own search engine with complete indexing of the internet. Put in a website, and get back all the pages. Check a few boxes and index all pages that link from that first website. If I had the resources (several large servers and databases) I would have seen just how far it could go.
