About Me
Hi, my name is John Carpenter and I’m a mobile software developer out of Calgary, Alberta. I spend most of my time building and designing mobile applications and games, primarily for the North American market. With a background in Geomatics and spatial programming you’ll see a heavy emphasis on mapping and location-based technologies. I’ll also qip on the software development market, creating high-performance teams and the state of the mobile market.
Portfolio of Work
If you wanted to take a look at some of the work I’ve helped develop follow some of the links below.
ZipDiGGiT was our first venture into a web 2.0 style app to merge technology in both mobile and web. The site is up and running as a demo site so most of the functionality has been disabled or removed. We decided to build the site on using Ruby on Rails to create a demo as fast as possible. The framework was outstanding for prototyping and the development team picked it up very quickly. Although I worry how realiable and fast the deployment of this framework is in a production environment. Let me know if you do.
