Priorities

Usability First: Web applications are tools first. If you can't use it, no amount of bells and whistles are going to fix it.
Flexible Development: Design changes and code will break. Developing flexible products ensures longevity and painless changes down the road.
Give It A Soul: Style and presentation go a long way. Setting the right tone enhances experiences and can be the difference between good and blow-your-pants-off awesome.

Instagrille

Instagram for your Windows PC. I inherited the flagship application for Pokki. Between handling all the feature implementation and fixing bugs I managed to squeeze in enough time to refactor the framework so the next guy hopefully can make sense of everything.

LightGrid

I loved playing Lights Out as a kid. What started out as a simple prototype I ended up turning into a little javascript web game. Beat it on hard, I dare ya.

SwipeBright

SwipeBright is a really simple iPhone brightness control. I found myself having trouble adjusting the brightness when I was driving, skiing, or doing something else active. It only took two days to write but it has saved me tons of headaches trying to turn up the brightness when I'm on the go.

Qrawr

An attempt to make QR codes cool. Enabled comments and pictures to be posted on a physical object using stickers. Unfortunately we recently shut the service down but it was an amazing learning experience.
