Hi! I'm a Toronto-based software engineer, product guy, and all around computer person. I like working on products used by millions of people. I've been doing a lot of mobile development lately.
iPhone Apps
Whack-a-Kitty
 Get it from iTunes |
Whack-a-Kitty was a fun side project in late 2010, and my first attempt at an iPhone game. I wrote in more detail about it when it was released, and some analysis three weeks later.
LyricFind
 Free |
Paid |
Released in March 2009, the LyricFind apps are the top lyrics apps on the iPhone, and received over 1 million downloads in the first year alone. The apps provide easy access to a staggering amount of lyrics, as well as artist bios, album information, and integration with the iPod player. Needless to say, I’m very proud of them.
Obama8Ball
The Obama8Ball app was a simple app made back when I was learning iPhone development. I spent a lot of time on the movement detection for shaking, and on the sound effect, and it felt surprisingly convincing. Unfortunately, it got rejected by Apple about 3 times before I gave up, once for a vague reason, once for “mocking a public figure”, and once for infringing the Magic 8Ball trademark (although many similar apps already existed). Nonetheless, it was fun to make.
