Idea in Detail — Jacob Hubbard | Software Development & IT Consulting Services in Arkansas

With a decade of experience as a professional Software Engineer designing and developing web applications from front to back, I'm capable of taking your ideas and bringing them to life on the screen, no matter how big or small. Whether you need a personal website or a scalable enterprise system, I can help you make it better than you imagined. For me, the details are about more than how things look; it's how they feel. Software shouldn't be intimidating to any user if it's done right, and with care.

There's few things I enjoy more than problem solving and discovering better or more efficient ways to do things. I can help with every step along the way of bringing a new idea to life, improving existing infrastructure and workflows, or tackling that problem that keeps getting put off. From designing a website to designing a database, or setting up the teams that manage them for success — I'm ready to take on the challenge for you. My comprehensive consulting services cover all of your needs and even some needs you didn't know you needed.

• Available to work independently or as part of teams
• Short term or long term
• Can travel as needed
• Always here when you need me

As time goes on, physical media degrades and much of that data isn't backed up anywhere else. Old tapes with invaluable moments, hard drives with priceless photos or even CDs/DVDs with things important to you are all prone to decay with age. I have experience both personally and professionally with not just preserving physical media, but finding ways to make it more accessible. Have some old videos or pictures you never get to look at because they're hard to view? Let's change that.

Transcription of videos is also available, including timestamps and speaker identification.

Your privacy matters first and foremost — your content will never be uploaded to the Cloud (unless requested) and no copies will be retained.

As a kid that grew up on VHS tapes and with handheld cameras capturing family trips and moments, I have a special affinity for analog media. My grandfather left me behind his Nikon OneTouch point and shoot 35mm film camera when I was younger and it sparked an interest in me that's only grown since. I primarily like to capture moments — pictures that tell a story of something happening or frame a place and time. Let's talk about what moment I can capture for you, because moments matter.

• Photo sessions
• Music Videos / Live Performances
• Behind the scenes

I created an in-depth fan experience for an album release that places fans in the universe of the album. What appears to be a simple countdown page at first, entices users to go down the rabbit hole where they suddenly find themselves in an experience like they've never had on their phone or computer. This experience connects the fan with the content more than a simple webpage would and gives them something to really remember, increasing their engagement with the band and the music.

• Rotatable perspective with items to engage with
• TV with playable VHS tapes
• CD player with playable CDs
• Photo album with photos from the studio
• Album themed pinball game
• Upcoming tour flyers as posters on walls
• Album lyrics presented in a hand written journal
• Website links presented as shortcuts on old computer screen

This project was done primarily with Three.js which is built on OpenGL. The main design goals were to make sure the experience was accessible to all types of users and run across all devices, old and new, big and small, without compromising the experience in any way.

I really enjoy getting to work with 3D objects and spaces like this so if you have any needs for 3D modeling or animation on your website, let's talk!

Ever needed a themed leaderboard for your team, organization or club? I made a simple way to create your own, customize it to your use case and provided systems for authenticating scores and determining prizes.

• Customizable Leagues that allow users to create groups within the leaderboard and compete for supremacy
• Seasons are fully configurable: Set season length, prizes and activities that qualify for points
• Full admin suite for a "Commissioner" to manage all users and settings, as well as approve or reject point earning activities
• Users can configure profiles, including setting bios and profile pictures
• Supports emailing users and admins notifications when events with leaderboard occur

This is a .NET project with a SQL Server backend hosted on AWS, which also handles the related emails and files. Configured to scale for any size leaderboard or any number of leaderboards.
