MOVEMBER GAMES
Google wanted to create something nice to represent Movember, so we came up with an idea to build games for Chrome, using facial recognition to play it. It uses EaselJS and RequireJS.
MoreNOISEBOARD
This application won several awards. It not just makes use of a full HTML 5 using EaseJS but the whole site is built without using a single image.

FANCY FEAST
After a massive migration of Purina's website to Sitecore, they decided to re-design their brands. Fancy Feast is the first one of the whole lot, and it was quite challenging to build some of its elements. Check it out the front-end development.
MoreABOUT ME
My name is Rafael Cardoso, you can call me Raf. I migrated to Australia in 2007 and became a citizen after finishing my Bachelor Degree in Computer Science, graduating from Paulista University in São Paulo, Brazil in 2006. I have been working with web development since 1998 and I have always been passionate about Web and coding. Some of the places I have worked include, but not limited to the biggest internet portal in Latin America called UOL, big name digital agency M&C Saatchi and currently Yahoo!7 in Australia.
