Recent Projects

If you are looking at this you may want my look at my (out of date probably) CV
Probably worth mentioning though that I am not currently looking for work although this might change.

These are all commercial projects. If you are interested in my free software stuff look on my blog.

My Little Plant

Innovation






Are you worried about the planet? You can now follow the weather in the Amazon Forest while you take care of a typical plant from the region. My Little Plant Guarana is a game in which you get a seed to take care of until it becomes a beautiful tree. In order to achieve that, pay attention to the Amazon climate conditions, get rid of bugs, get the little stars and use the tools to make your plant grow stronger. At the same time you get Amazon weather updates in real time.
