  An interactive video rich-media ad which follows a woman on her morning run.  As she moves through the seasons, her wardrobe changes and a selection menu is displayed behind her.  At any given moment, the user can select from the product menu, see details about that particular product, and (if they wish) go directly to that product’s page on the Nike Store site.

• Ask.com – AskDeals.com

• Ask.com – In-banner Pinball game

• Affiliatør

  Affiliatør didn’t get much further than one day of development. This proof-of-concept was born when I had account people telling me about how affiliates were creating their own perverted versions of current eBay ads. I thought to myself “What if eBay affiliates could just download an app that would let them create their own ads with their own copy… but using our design template?

• Hello There

  Combine Adobe AIR with Bluetooth with BlueCove (a lightweight server capable of relaying said Bluetooth data) and you get the, (maybe) cleverly-named “Hello There”. When running, it constantly scaned for Bluetooth devices in-range & made note of their device ID.

My very last lines of code and bugs quashed for Avenue A | Razorfish involved integrating the Flash with their existing JSP-based eCommerce system.

• eBay Motors – Motors Mashup Unit

  A dynamic display ad that took data from the eBay Motors API and displayed said data using the Yahoo Maps API.  Geotargeting was used in ad trafficking, allowing the map to initialize at the user’s approximate location. + System architecture + public & private API integration + Flash development
