Skills Exposition
Overview
The purpose of this document is to provide selected pieces from my portfolio that will simplify the process of skill evaluation for my peers. Although some of my best work has been done in the Research & Development labs of Toyota and Honda, many of these projects cannot be displayed because of their confidential nature. Many of these projects, if shown, would demonstrate skills in the development of iOS applications that push current perceived boundaries, gesture recognition, augmented reality, voice recognition, and integration with external hardware.
This document will display selections from my website, published iOS applications, Flash interactive media, and digital modeling projects.
