The elevator pitch for this post: configuring a Raspberry Pi to run a deluged BitTorrent server only through OpenVPN.
Read on if that sounds like fun.

Luckily the solution isn’t too complicated, just typically esoteric.

A prototype website and companion app for a rewards scheme that allowed users to get discounts when they shopped at participating retailers as well as donating a portion to a charitable organization of their choice.
My team and I built the frontend, while a sister team worked on the backend.

The first year was messy with all of us struggling to find customer’s trees with crude paper forms and “best guess” locations, so I was asked to investigate using very cheap Android devices to geotag trees and ease the pain.

This follows on from the settling snowfall effect I’ve covered previously. This project was started directly after, but never reached the same level of completion.
In early 2015 I was given a brief to create a mobile sales app for my employers travelling salespeople to use when they visit customers. I had to rush a prototype out in 4 days which was barely functional but largely UI complete.
A few more weeks of work and it all came together. There’s still a few feature gaps and such but all the important stuff is there.
A quick look at another website build for Christmas tree wholesaler/retailer, Jadecliff.
Today I’ve got a fun snowfall effect that seems to settle and accumulate on objects in the scene over time.

Let’s dive in.
Greetings once again, time to talk about a game prototype!
I briefly worked at a small marketing agency where I produced this to pitch the owner of a number of Christmas tree farms. Work started May 2013 and concluded around July.
I wanted to try and make a runner-type game in the tree farm, and over a few iterations I think we came out with something kinda fun – although requiring a lot more work to get to release.
