My creativity in life goes beyond the arts and the visual and has translated to me working on several different projects. Regardless of the current state of each project, it shows my ability to passionately create in many different forms. I am extremely proud of the different projects and will absolutely continue to work on my passion…to create.

The Creative Snap idea came to me while working on multiple web development projects to clients and finding it very hard to keep up with all the details. See at the time, I started working with another web development company offering white labels services and I was totally floored when he asked me to use all of the platforms they use for their project life cycle. There was a total of 3 or 4 platforms we were asked to use and I can see, the entire project flow was still not covered. Well, at that point I convinced that there must be one platform that can help freelancers from start to finish. I was amazed that I could not find one. After a few years of looking and thinking about the idea, we decided to build it. Today, Creative Snap is a reality after severals years of working on it. It’s far from done but now we have customers that have sang its praises! I knew there was more people just like me looking for a solution like Creative Snap! Now, the challenge is to continue to make it better but to get it in front of the web development world. Working on this business has not been quick or easy but nothing great in life is. I think I’ll keep working it until its a smash hit! Check it out.
Advanzweb.com
Advanzweb.com began way back in 2000 immediately after I built my first eCommerce website, shopinoy.com. Back then everything about building websites was so manual. Even setting hosting, ssl and payment gateways was more complicated. These days, its gotten much easier but definitely beyond my technical capabilities but that is where my management skills comes into play. Today, the Advanzweb team consists of amazingly talented web developers and designers to build world class websites regardless if it is a simple WordPress CMS website or a custom PHP web application. Throughout the years, my team and I have gone on to build 100+ websites for clients of all shapes and sizes.
Taboo Tyke
http://www.tabootyke.com
While building technology for others throughout the years, I longed to build something of our own. A project which would adorn our names and be filled with our passion and creativity. That project came in the form of a mobile game that would be super cute yet mega-frustrating at the same time. That game is Taboo Tyke.
Taboo Tyke features the uber cute baby Tyler. Tyler, like many newly walking toddlers, is super curious of the world around him and sets off to explore without any concept of danger or harm. Well its up to the player to help Tyler get through each round by placing action items in his surroundings to influence him to stop, crawl, run and more. The game, although not fast-paced, is ultra challenging since Tyler, like any toddler, just keeps walking through danger zones like the Construction or Jungle Zone. Players need to help Tyler past obstacles, falling objects and more. The game is very deceiving because it features a small, cute baby but the game is not for the faint of heart. It’ll make you curse and scream from the challenges from this unique platformer. See if you have what it takes to play Taboo Tyke! Download it now on the iTunes App Store or the PLAY Store for Android devices.
I have to say, I am brimming with pride about what we’ve created with Taboo Tyke. The entire team really produced a world class game in terms of game play, concept, graphics and more. This was our first game but we certainly made Taboo Tyke look like it was developed by a seasoned gaming company. I invite you to download and play the game but also explore the website and read through the Backstage, About Us or Blog sections. I just reread again after a couple years and I have to say, I am impressed! Congratulations to Raymond, Jesse, Francis and myself for such a kick-ass game!
Photography and Videography
As you might see from the Photography and Videography pages here on my website, I really love capturing stills and memories on video. As with so many things that I learned by self study, I always work on getting better and better. The main thing I do at all times is to pay close attention to work done by professionals and then learn how to do it like they’ve done. I see ads in magazines, billboards, the internet and get consumed with the desire to emulate their results. Of course, its not quick and easy to learn the craft of pros but I just keep working at it. This way of learning and improving to get better results has lead me step up my game enough to get paid gigs. It would a dream come true to become a professional in this field because I really love it.
Now, I do love photography but creating high-quality videos is a challenge that I can do all day long with any expectation of anything. Its the job I’d do that I wouldn’t consider a job. I am so passionate about producing a video that people will say ‘wow’ to. Now, I don’t always produce wow videos because sometimes I’m documenting memories. I know that I can produce both and look forward to exploring more in the world of making videos.
I have achieved a lot but still have
so much more to reach and strive for.
Writing this page makes me realize that I have achieved a lot but still have so much more to reach and strive for. As I’ve done through my life, I will continue to stretch my abilities and knowledge and will tackle more and more. Let’s see what’s next!
