Sorry! I’m currently working on my own iPhone app and not accepting any new projects right now.
Update: Here’s the website! Woot!
SingaporeBrides.com
I was working on the revamp of SingaporeBrides (in case you never heard of it, SingaporeBrides is a portal for Singapore brides) in the past few months.
I’m still working on the revamp, but I was, too.
Other than redesign their home page, I also created some new apps/sites range from the directory app…
To their WordPress blog… (p.s.: don’t ask me to theme WordPress ever again)
To some simple apps for content management…
And they still have like 3 iOS apps and 2 web apps and 3 redesigns in their project queue.
Man, 2011 is going to be a very busy year for me.
School Management System
A system my friends (Captain Jason, Mr. Cucumber and Hatman) and I designed and developed for a local school. I was the designer and front-end guy.
By the way “local” means “Singapore”.
Although it may seem so, but we’re not using UI frameworks like Cappucino or SproutCore.
But too bad it turned into an 800-pound ERP system. (To give you an idea of how complex the system is, running the whole cucumber test suite took about an hour in selenium mode.)
I wanted it to be a web app with advanced capabilities and a user experience comparable to that of desktop applications, so I stole (or copy?) a lot of UI ideas from Mac OS X—in my opinion the best desktop operating system.
Oh, did I mention it has iPad-like user interface before iPad came out?
Mr. Tweet
I was the designer and front-end guy of Mr. Tweet, a startup that helps people to discover people relevant to their interests on Twitter. They are doing something else now, since Twitter rolled out their own people recommendation service.
The owl was drawn by some other people.
Some temporary redesign we pushed out while we’re working on the Awesome Interface™.
With a new version of the recommendation engine we also revamped the user interface, and we immediately received a lot of positive feedback. (Most of them were about the UI so sorry back-end folks.)
Interesting note: from my experience their result is far more accurate than Twitter’s, despite being 3rd party and was out 1 year earlier.
The sad thing is I wasn’t using it a lot (although it’s very cool). Because I’m not really a sociable person. *sigh*
SharedCopy
In 2007 I emailed this guy who was looking for Ruby on Rails programmer, (I didn’t actually know what Rails really is, and I only browsed through this book the night before we first met,) and it eventually became my first job.
My job was mostly to draw icons and debug JavaScript. I loved it and it means a lot to me, so SharedCopy will always have a place in my portfolio. :)
This was done back in the days when the Tango Icon Style was the de-facto standard for icon design. And this layout was (and still?) very popular.
