I'm looking for engineering, advocacy and/or standards work in the mobile and/or web applications areas. I bring great experience in native and web based iPhone apps, PhoneGap, Ruby, Java, the LAMP stack, Javascript, HTML5, CSS, casual social games on Facebook, scalability, performance, git, xml, json, web standards and enterprise computing.
I decided to leave Ayogo Games after 1 1/2 years primarily because the work that we are doing has changed and our technology framework is mature. I joined Paul Prescod and Michael Fergusson in this journey to build our own great games. As part of this, we built a comprehensive iPhone, web and server technology framework for rapidly deploying new casual social games. With our technology framework largely complete, the company's next stage of growth involves very graphically rich immersive web based games. The company has a great team that can very quickly build web and iphone based games with the frameworks. To a certain extent, this is declaring victory. I've been a big part of building these frameworks, and now the company is turning the crank on using them. Given all that, it's time to move on to find other challenges that match my seniority, skills and talent as a strategic technology executive.
I'm following Tim Bray's 2 pieces of advice: 1) leave when things change and what you are good at and want to do isn't core to the company, and 2) leave before you've found another job.

I came across this blog entry because we're both linked to Danton Chin. If you're still looking for mobile and/or Web application work, which seems unlikely given how much time has elapsed since you posted this, I'd like to encourage you to have a look at www.walrusink.com. I don't have a job to offer you, but perhaps you'd be interested in writing an eBook with us?
Danton contributed a chapter to a book I edited a couple of years ago on iPhone game development. Thanks.
