Senior Interactive Developer
imeem
(Privately Held; 11-50 employees; Internet industry)
April 2007 — April 2008 (1 year 1 month)
Developed all the Flash music players on the popular social music site imeem.com including both single track and playlist players as well as the embedded music player widgets.
To support early versions of Flash, I developed two players with identical functionality, one in AS2/Flash for Flash 7+ and one in AS3/Flex 3 for Flash 9+. Both players support advanced features like dynamic CSS skinning and resizing, as well as all the different required contexts (single/playlist/embed/standalone/etc...)
Developed several Adobe AIR applications including a desktop music player, a bulk file uploader, iTunes importer, and a simple jabber chat client.
Implemented a continuous build system using CruiseControl/Antennae for all Flex projects to ensure an always working build. This proved very important as the team grew in size.
Developed the current imeem instant messaging service using djabberd/Perl. -
