Developed the Adidas Challenge: All or Nothing, an interactive scavenger hunt created to extend the hype beyond the 2014 FIFA World Cup. Players participated using Street View to find clues scattered around the globe. Each quest had its starting point somewhere in Brazil, with a clue leading them to their first checkpoint.

Built Johnson's Baby "Hello, My Name Means," which captures real-time data from the world’s top social media sites to predict the future of a baby’s name.

Oversaw the entire cloud Infrastructure and application development of Recomind, a startup acquired by Buscapé in 2010. This was a very interesting period.

Talenti: Flavorize Me (Development)
Flavorize Me allowed users to connect their Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram to a “flavorizer” that analyzes their posts from the past year to create a unique Talenti flavor. The keywords were processed on the back-end and displayed on the site as a WebGL animation that morphed into the shape and color of the newly generated flavor. Where the device does not support WebGL, an image fallback was used.

Feed The Friendship is a mobile website developed for the brand Cesar. The website utilized the latest image recognition technology to identify a dog's breed and engage the user in a parallax animated story about the dog's breed origin and funny facts.
Johnson's Baby: Hello, My Name Means (Development)
