May 2006 — Present (3 years 7 months)

Developed in Flex 2, Cayri was a personal project that displayed ﬂight statuses for the VATSIM and IVAO ﬂight simulator networks. Wrote the client to server communication services in AMFPHP. Designed a custom mapping system based on the Yahoo Maps API to take advantage of the performance improvements provided in AS3. This mapping system allowed for thousands of markers to be displayed on the map at any given time. Applied techniques to intelligently determine departure and arrival statuses, time to destination, and predict aircraft positions based on static data. Much research went into Mercator map projections, processing user generated flight routes, and mapping them to real world navigation stations.
