I helped in the development of the Award-winning Facebook application Whopper Sacrifice, which turned heads when it was first introduced in 2008. Read More Its mission was simple, to allow Facebook users to delete their friends in exchange of a whopper. After 10 friends were deleted, users received a coupon for a free whopper sandwich. Unfortunately, the application lasted about a week before it was sacrificed by Facebook. The good news, over 200,000 fans were willing to part ways with their friends in exchange for a delicious whopper.

- Original Site Redesigned
This website was almost entire built using Flash ActionScript. The section I developed was JavaScript-based, which utilized Ajax calls to communicate the front-end with the back-end when the user needed to know if one of the items displayed on the site was available on his/her market. Only three cities in the United States were selected to test the pilot program. The user's location was obtained Read More based on his/her IP address since browser Geolocation was not widely supported at the time. If an IP address match was found, then a list of stores where the new product was offered would make its way to the staging area; otherwise, a link to print the package was displayed instead.

The Policy Finder web form was built for the purpose of finding unclaimed life insurance policies.

I utilized several validation Read More and scripting techniques to move from one section to another along with Ajax calls to verify claimed insurance availability.

Another Facebook application built using both programming languages, JavaScript and Flash ActionScript. The purpose of the application was for Facebook users to have the chance to tell their friends that their Margaritas making abilities needed a lot of improvement.

Upon acceptance, the application would present the sender with an option to select a friend to be the winner of a Mexican serenade. It was not long before Read More hundreds of users were utilizing the application to send 'Suck Serenades'.

I was the Lead Developer for this Adobe Flash-based Facebook application which purpose was to match individuals with Volkswagen models. The application's algorithm looked through all of basic and extended information on a Facebook user's profile and, depending on what was available, provided the user with what would be his/her perfect Volkswagen match. Read More The limitation of the application was that it depended solely on the information the user had on his/her profile; the more information it obtained, the better the match; on the other hand, if little information was available, the application would default to one of the basic car models.
