Apps
There's something awesome about the fact that all of us carry around these computers in our pocket. That's why I love mobile development: I get to make stuff--anything I want--and carry it with me wherever I go.

I wanted to do an app that was more than just a simple utility app and decided to sink some serious investment in something that would totally knock the socks of off users. This is a product of collaboration between Excel Florendia (illustrator) and Megan Randa (composer).

In southeast Idaho I fell in love with cross country skiing. I'm really big into activity and fitness with the Apple Watch and thought this would be fun way to learn about the HealthKit and Workout APIs.
-
I decided to experiment with Pencil Kit, Apple's drawing framework, challenging myself to create a coloring book experience with it. After trying a couple of things to bend it to my will, I was able to get it to work with great satisfaction. I'm certain they didn't have this in mind when they developed it, but it was a fun experience around a coloring book concept.

There are lots of good apps out there that do receipts. I thought it'd be a fun thing just to create my own on a weekend. Most apps have eschewed skeuomorphism with the introduction of iOS 7, but I decided to buck the trend and keep it, just for novelty sake.
-
Another app to scratch an itch: I needed something to keep track of my stuff as I packed it away in boxes in preparation to moving across country. This app keeps tracks of all your stuff using QR codes and pictures. With this, you know EXACTLY where everything is.

There have been a lot of apps that have taken their shot at mini golf scorecards, but haven't been updated in quite a while. This was my take on the app that I could have and work for the foreseeable future.

iMessage sticker packs are supposed to be the all the rage, so why not make one???
-
My most successful app to date, Webmail++ was borne out of frustration of having to use a web client to connect to my day job's piece of junk webmail interface to check my mail. I simplified logon and reformatted the page to make it mobile friendly.

This app was developed at the Alamo Civic Hackathon in conjunction with the National Day of Civic Hacking and Code For America. It lets San Antonio residents view the real-time water levels of the Edwards Aquifer, know what water restrictions are in place, and receive reminders on their day for watering.
-
Though I haven't played in quite some time, TF2 Recipes is a utility app for the immensely successful Team Fortress 2. Valve are very open with their APIs and IP for others to build cool things, so I thought I'd put together an app to use as an excuse for learning some new things in iOS 5 and meet a need not being fulfilled in the App Store: a way to figure out what you can craft with your TF2 inventory.

Geekdom is a collaborative workspace here in San Antonio. I built this app pro-bono as a way to give back to the community and make something awesome for all of us to use. The only complaint has been: Why isn't there an Android version?!
So much for free and open...
