I have several HTML5 CourseWare projects in the funding pipeline. This one is a prototype for reimplementing the Yale School of Forestry Diversity Metrics Java applet into HTML5/jQuery.
The prototype uses HTML Kickstart for the responsive layout foundation, jqplots, and my own parameter-setting and scenario engine.
One of my passions is growing vegetables indoors. Check out my bestseller on Amazon.
I know, the stereotype is that programmers can't write. I love writing.
Mandalar is my vision of the classic children's shape game, optimized for creative artwork.
Mandalar uses single-source ActionScript 3 to generate apps for iOS, Android, and desktop. The responsive layout fills the screen from mobile phone, to tablet, to 24" monitor, to wall-sized SmartBoard.
NumBlox - cusenaire rods - uses the same cross-platform technologies.
In 1997, Java applets made online CourseWare possible - interactive scientific graphics, served over the web. DaisyWorld was my original proof-of-concept, and no one's done it better.
This latest version is in ActionScript 3. It's a responsive layout, like most of my apps.
It's been a joy to create fractals and other math teaching simulators for Professor Michael Frame of Yale University. The Differential Equation Plotter is our most recent offering.
My degree is actually in applied math, with computer science.
I'm a freelance Web programmer with decades of experience, largely in interactive graphics. I've been developing for the Internet since 1994.
I focus on single source technologies for cross-browser, cross-platform support, including mobile. I do the full software life-cycle, software architecture through specification, design, development, documentation, deployment, and ongoing support. Or whatever subset you need.
I often subcontract for interactive marketing firms, bidding and implementing the tricky parts, such as product configurators, or a custom data-driven interactive map. But most of my Portfolio was developed as high-level teaching courseware for universities such as Yale.
Expertise includes:
Please see my Portfolio of simulators and other online applications. And my Resume.
I also love to write - both technical writing and fiction, plus a bit of graphic storytelling (manga and story illustrations). Excel at specifications, proposals, and documentation. My latest book is Indoor Salad: How to Grow Vegetables Indoors.
