Experience

ATrack Mobile App and Website

https://www.atracksolutions.com/
A Xamarin app and Angular website with C# and SQL server back end used to provide training and record training outcomes for children with autism-related learning difficulties. I designed and developed the full-stack implementation of this system, which complies with the HIPAA requirements.

Purchase Train Tickets on the British Rail Network

I developed this page and associated purchase pages that allows the purchase of train tickets for use on the British rail network. It uses C#, ASP.NET, and extensive JavaScript. This website sells over $3 million worth of tickets per day on the busiest days.

Fly ILS Approaches Anywhere

http://www.ilsapp.com/
This app uses the GPS location and an extensive database of airport runways to simulate an ILS on any runway. The app allows you to create your own ILS anywhere. Choose a convenient ground feature in Google Maps, enter the coordinates and the runway heading and threshold elevation for this feature then practice your ILS skills. Perfect for keeping your skills up-to-date without annoying your local airfield neighbors and without paying any navigation fees.
