I'm a software developer currently focused on iPhone app development, though I have experience with Mac OS X, Java, PHP, SQL, and Perl.
I'm not a graphic designer but I have experience in interaction design.

In addition to developing new projects from scratch, I can help improve your existing project: fixing difficult bugs, removing performance bottlenecks, and improving the user interface.
Have an idea, but no experience in software development? I can also help you develop your application design and write a detailed specification.
Contact me and we can discuss your project. I am located in New York City.
Desiring an iPhone substitute for Eat Watch for Palm, I developed FatWatch, a weight tracker which provides useful information using only daily weigh-in data, such as your daily calorie surplus or deficit.
I used SQLite to manage data storage. To get the best possible table scrolling performance, I wrote custom UITableViewCell classes. Charts are drawn using Core Graphics. I implemented data import and export over Wi-Fi connnections by using the CFNetwork API to develop an embedded HTTP server and Bonjour to advertise its presence on the network.
If you would like to evaluate FatWatch, please send an email and I'll be happy to send you a promotional download code.
As part of the Canned Bananas team, I developed the game Lock 'n' Roll (and Lock 'n' Roll Pro) along with designer James Prucey and artist Orchun Koroglu.
Lock 'n' Roll makes extensive use of Core Animation to provide a engaging visual experience. It also features a worldwide high score board, implemented by a REST API, with just enough security to prevent high score forgery.
Inspired by the National Novel Writing Month project, and looking for motivation to write, a group of New York comedy writers declared September to be National Sketch Writing Month: write one sketch a day for thirty days.
I used the CakePHP framework to develop nationalsketchwritingmonth.com, a simple website where participants could post their progress. I added Gravatar integration to provide user images on the site.
Initially developed for Fat Penguin, several live performance groups use Gigloo to keep track of gigs. Unlike a simple calendar, Gigloo supports a workflow where a gig is pending until enough members confirm they can make it, accepted when the host has been notified, and confirmed when the host has replied.
I used the CodeIgniter PHP framework, backed by a MySQL database, to develop Gigloo.
