Brian Dote’s Summary
I'm currently employed as a Senior User Interface Engineer at Archinoetics, LLC. (archinoetics.com) I also freelance as a web designer, developer, and iPhone app designer/developer. (dotestudios.com)
Previously I worked at Apple until late 2008. I joined Apple in early 2004 working simultaneously on .Mac (membership based service with over a million members -- the precursor to MobileMe) and iTunes. In my early days at Apple, I was part of the iTunes Europe launch, the first version of Motion (Apple's motion graphics application), and various .Mac services.
In 2005 I was promoted to management, leading the .Mac User Interface Engineering team. My team was a key part of many successful .Mac launches. In 2007 I was a key member of the team that wrote some of the first web applications for the iPhone launch. I'm a co-applicant on four patents pending from this work. In the summer of 2007, I led the team in the successful launch of the .Mac Web Gallery for the iPhone and desktop.
Prior to joining Apple in 2004, I worked at Incyte Corporation as the lead web developer. I also worked as a web application developer at Cisco Systems in 2001 and Northpoint Communications in 2000.
Born in Honolulu, I earned my BA Zoology degree from the University of Hawaii and my MS Information Systems from Hawaii Pacific University. I currently live in Manoa, Hawaii.
