Michael Wuori
I'm a web and mobile developer working out of Charlotte, NC. Before striking out on my own, I had the joy of serving as Sr. Interactive Developer at some awesome little firms like Studiobanks and Smashing Boxes. A list of my hobbies that extend beyond those of guitars and Lost would appear here if they existed, but to be perfectly honest I really just enjoy building things and spend my time in that sisyphus-ish task that is keeping up with the latest in development and all-things-tech. Somehow, that works for me. Here's some of my latest work:
Viper Smart-Start
An incredible technological breakthrough for users who employ car starters to combat cold winters, Viper SmartStart is an iPhone application that allows you to start your car from your phone. The mobile app also lets you control door locks and the panic option on Viper car systems. It’s an app marvel that has suddenly increased a car starter’s range.
