My Smart Coach (R&D)

My Smart Coach is an R&D project I worked on in 2010. Wanting to test a new intelligence model, I developed an SMS interface where my friends and colleagues are able to record (using simple SMS) their work-out summary. The system analyses the information gathered, and compares both the user’s and the other members’ average performance. The system is then able to create motivating tips and send them by text message.

Vector Map engine (R&D)

I built a Google Maps clone using the RaphaelJS SVG framework. With the of the use of SVG graphic (vector), I was able to perform certain actions that weren’t possible with the regular Google Maps, such as for example smooth zoom-in or out or map rotation. I was able to add data layers to visualize geo-localized information directly on the map.

It comes with build-in analytics and business intelligence tools to create smart applications.

I use the EVE Framework in most of my projects : it gives me the opportunity to develop elaborate web applications in record time.
