New Control

Front End Developer in Chicago, IL

For this one I was the general front end dev at a fast paced advertising agency in downtown Chicago, building sites, client admin panels, and pixel perfect html emails.

Tampico Beverage Corp.

Development Lead in Chicago, IL

We built an interactive advertising videogame for Tampico Beverage Corp. through Branger_Briz advertising. Players design and bash a pinata, then send it to their friend. If their friend bashes it as well, they are entered into a raffle together to win a matched set of Fiat 500's, bikes, and other prizes. There were two connected versions of the game: a facebook app and an iPad app. I personally worked hands-on to oversee completion all of the programming and layout for the UI / UX, in-game 3D physics, and scene management for the iPad app.

The current site is designed as a responsive wordpress theme with a sticky top menu in desktop mode. I incorporated the Twitter API as well as photostreams from Pinterest, Flickr, and Instagram.
