Development

I built a prototype mobile web application for DisneyWorld Resorts, letting visitors navigate the park, browse rides and attractions, and check queue times.

  • Delivered a mobile experience before the App Store existed, working within the constraints of the mobile browsers of the time.
  • Built around live queue data, so the value of the product depended entirely on the information being current.

Real-time data on a phone, in 2007. The problem has stayed the same; only the tools have changed.
