Mobile Web Developer, Independent Contractor with Advanced Onion, Inc.
Designed and developed a mobile application version of an existing online Naval Postgraduate School (NPS) course, EO3404 Applied Digital Signal Processing, for use on the iPad and desktop/laptop computers. This app was developed using HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript, and JQuery Mobile and is deployed to students as both a web app and as a stand-alone hybrid application for installation on mobile devices. This mobile version allows students to conveniently access their course textbook, video lectures, note-taking, and social networking all in a single touch-enabled interface. Particularly unique features are instructor led video quizzes, utilization of the device camera to include "outside" material such as handwritten notes and screenshots from other computers, and full integration with the Sakai LMS forum to allow student and teacher interactions in a social networking framework. Designed as a reusable template for transfer to other NPS courses.
