Need advice on your application’s development, a codebase audit, or a slick prototype for your next project? Get in touch with me at cmd@travisdunn.com, or by calling 347.263.7282.
Web Development
Social networking, mash-ups, software as a service, content management systems, browser-based games, and other fixtures of the Web 2.0 world. I’ve been working with Ruby on Rails for 3 years, .NET for about 5 now, and various LAMP stacks for the better part of my career.
I don’t just deliver a product, but a product optimal for your project’s constraints and goals, helping you focus on developing your core idea and avoiding the inessentials. A product also designed on insight into today’s technological landscape, so that your application can integrate as needed across a growing range of popular internet services. And a product that’s secure, aware of the prevailing attack points and built to thwart them.
iPhone Development
Whether you want to port an existing property or launch a new product designed to target the iPhone, I’ll make sure you end up with a solid, memory-tight and testable application that capitalizes on the platform’s strengths. Certification and The App Store approval process can be challenging at best, and I can help minimize these logistical risks by ensuring that your app conforms to Apple’s unspoken design requirements.
Code Reviews and Refactoring
If you want to audit your source for refactoring or performance concerns, or else ensure that your new project is being designed and programmed for optimal maintainability, security, and flexibility, I can bring an experienced, impartial hand to the task.
From high level concerns such as MVC adherence, API structure, scalability planning, and database design, to low level details like keeping DRY, proper abstraction levels, idiomatic code, object modeling, and reasonable test design, I’ll provide a comprehensive review of your project with advice on how to shrink your codebase, improve stability, and make your application friendly to rapid development and responsive to life’s unforeseen maintenance issues.
I’m happy to review any Rails or C# project.
Partnerships & Collaborations
I’m generally open to partnerships on interesting projects, especially those related to games or mobile devices. If you’re an artist or an entrepreneur and are looking for a development counterpart, email me at cmd@travisdunn.com.
2009 is a busy for year me, so I’m more inclined to take on smaller projects. If your project requires the attention of a team or other specialist resources, consider hiring my company Bellwether.
