Merge Healthcare App Prototype
Merge Healthcare - acquired by IBM for $1 billion in October 2015 - partnered with ZB App Studio (formerly Zippy Brain) to develop an app prototype to showcase at RSNA 2015. The goal of the app is to provide Merge's end users (physicians, technologists, and site leaders) with a single portal to interact with Merge's various services. This app acts as a route for inexpensive communication with users, incentivizes users to enroll in online learning, improves the efficiency of service requests and more.

Ramen Shop 2083: Cyberpunk Restaurant Management - iOS
It’s the year 2083. Humans are rare, and hordes of demented robots now roam the streets. As one of the last humans alive, you have a chance to find success running a ramen shop. It won’t be easy though. You'll need to create dishes that satisfy strange customers, serve bowls quickly, upgrade your restaurant, and develop relationships with the city’s most powerful factions.
Sunny LA: Trek to Hollywood Hills - iOS
In this strategy and resource management game, you need to plan your route, manage provisions, and keep your reputation high as you travel through the endless streets, avenues, and boulevards of Los Angeles.
You only have until the end of the weekend to make it to the party in Hollywood Hills. Too bad you’re in Venice, 16 miles away. If you make it in time, everyone in the industry will see how cool you are. If you don’t, you probably aren’t going to make it in this town.
Fight the Fire - iOS
Fight the Fire began as a simple wildfire spread simulation demo at a Startup Weekend. With the help of former wildland firefighter Ariel Strong, we developed it into a fullly-featured educational strategy game with 50 levels and a variety of gameplay options. Fight the Fire has been featured in the firefighting trade publication, Firehouse.
