Mondrian
Mondrian is a puzzle game based on the art of Piet Mondrian. I developed the puzzles myself and wrote a backend server to find optimal solutions using the A* algorithm. The game is known to be very difficult to solve and also includes a "mondrian" character who berates you when you fail to complete a puzzle.Here are some reviews:
"A work of Art"
"...its character, art style, and terrific gameplay justify the price. Mondrain can rest in peace knowing that his iDevice game has been transformed into a 5-Dimple work of art." -- AppSmile.com
"This is one title not to be missed by puzzle fans, and is engaging enough for anyone to enjoy." -- AppSpy.com

"Mondrian is a great game injecting loads of personality, and style into a genre that usually is just associated with blue blocks." -- TouchGen.net
"...a challenging and visually pleasing puzzler brought to you by Piet Mondrian...anyone who downloads the game is in for quite a few hours of brain-tingling puzzles." -- Touch Arcade
"...very simple but deep, interesting, artistic puzzle game. So cool." -- theslick.net (Japan)
CueNotes
Cuenotes was a cool music app. It has been described as "Twitter for music." While listening to a song you can write a short twitter-sized comment that is then connected to that song, at that time. Anyone who is following you will see your message when they listen to the same song.I wrote the app in native Objective-C and integrated with the iTunes player, and Spotify for music.
I wrote the backend in Node.js and MongoDB. The backend was fairly complicated as it had to connect to several third-party sources (iTunes, spotify, echonest, etc) and try to fuzzy match songs.
Syde
Syde is a social photo sharing app with a twist. Users only take one side of a photo and then other users can complete the photo by taking the other side. It's a fun app that can yield some surprising and beautiful results.The app is native Objective-C, utilizing the camera, obviously. I also wrote a nice cropping/adjusting screen to help users line up their photos.
The backend server is written in Node.js with MongoDB.
