Joe Kromer

I'm a designer, developer, hacker, experimenter, crafter but most of all a problem solver living in San Francisco.

Work

OnCompare

OnCompare is a lean start-up experiment that was completed over three weeks by a group of eight friends. OnCompare a decision engine for SaaS(think Yelp for Saas), it helps customers decide which SaaS product is right for them. I handled all of the user research/experience and coded the front-end of the site.

Lockerz

Being the 8th employee at Lockerz, I was able to wear many hats. From concept to design, prototyping to production development it seemed there was always some project that needed my skills. I also learned a lot about scaling websites as we went from a few thousands customers when I started to over 19 Million as of July of 2011.

Play

CSS Font Tool

This is a CSS font tool I built for the designers at lockerz.com to show them how browsers render fonts inconsistently and the options that are possible with CSS.

Photo Booth

One night when playing with Photo Booth I thought it would be fun to try to build a online prototype for myself. 3 hours later I had this. Don't get me wrong it's ROUGH but it works. :)
*Flash Player 10 and a webcam are required to play with it.

Smart Tiling

This is prototype I did that played an integral part in the galleries that were initially setup on Lockerz.com. When the screen resizes it detects the amount of items that can be spread across and adjusts occordingly.
