I was responsible for the setup and maintenance of the 2011 schools tournament. 3200 schools took part in a national competition, comprising of school stages, an online final qualification round and a 72 place final at London’s Science Museum.
I built a Microsoft Windows app (using c# and the .net framework) that extracted property information from a proprietary database system and uploaded to web service integrated with their main CMS.
I was responsible for the full application development of Axe/Lynx Creed. Creed was a video based TopTrumps game where players competed against each other to complete the game in the fastest time. There was a leader board and the first 1000 games completed were rewarded a free pack of cards.
I was responsible for the installation/management of the dedicated Amazon EC2 server and all of the application development. The New Face of Tia Maria was a global campaign to find the next model to be used for Tia Maria. It was a Facebook application that allowed users to select three photos from their Facebook profile and submit them into a draw. Contestants and spectators could then vote for whom they thought should be the next Face of Tia Maria.
I worked in a team of two, responsible for the development of an app that allowed users to upload a photo to be used in a video. The image is edited as the video plays so that the user appears to be in the video.
Allsop needed a more usable CMS to free them from website management so that they could concentrate on their core business. FUSE built a wiki style CMS using Code Igniter that integrated with their Active Directory and an external 3rd party property management system. I was the main technical lead on this project, helping FUSE architect the CMS and define boundaries between their work and the deliverables of the other 3rd parties.
I built a Facebook app used by Unilever’s Dove brand, globally. It is configurable per language and per region with a customizable algorithm to decide which product range to recommend, art work and language settings. The app allows you the question the damage rating of your hair using images from your Facebook profile or by using a webcam. I adapted the app to work on a touch screen and it was the used in London’s Westfield shopping center on touch screen devices and has since been adapted to work on the iPad.
I built a free to play spot the ball game which integrated with an Openbet backend system. The game is configurable via a 3rd party administration system. The number of guesses, image and plays per game are configurable.
