I am a UX / UI / Web / Mobile application developer and graphic designer. With a history of developing interactive media since 1997.
There have been an incredible number of projects that I have been involved with, mostly in the position of technical developer & lead programmer that often included the technical planning stages and UI/UX design briefings.
During the early years projects were mostly Director/Flash based highly interactive animations that were delivered on CD-ROM together with educational text books and in the more recent years, with the advent of mobile technologies, there has been a higher concentration of html based e-learning modules and animations targeting delivery to the modern touch and small-screen devices.
More recent projects have been Angular based Web apps and Google Flutter language multi-platform mobile apps.
Below is a very brief extract of some recent projects and a couple of older ones that I enjoyed working on.
