Brought this project / product from an idea to a working reality. Developed the concept and implemented a business model / plan. Following this, a Work Breakdown Structure was defined and followed throughout the implementation. All milestones were met or completed ahead of schedule.

Following this, a Work Breakdown Structure was defined and followed throughout the implementation. All milestones were met or completed ahead of schedule.
Graphics, features, UI, UX, and backend server functions were solely designed and maintained. Later, an iOS app was teamed with the already popular service. Initially, I coded a basic app, however, later contracted the assistance of a developer to make enhancements.
As noted within my experience, FTFun is a free service that was created to connect FaceTime device owners (iPhone 4, 4S, 4th Generation iPod Touch, iPad 2, etc.), around the world wishing to use FaceTime video conferencing with other users, instantly. As of October 23, 2010, the FTFun service released an App in the Apple App Store (an update to the App was also released on June 1, 2012 and the next version is currently under development). During April of 2011, Skype capability was also incorporated into the service. FTFun's population of users has since grown to span over 180 Countries with greater than 45,000 verified users. Social networking, SEO, SEM and e-commerce practices have been utilized throughout this venture.
