Rich Internet Application AIR Developer
TuneVault provides online backup via upload of media files - music, video and photographs. As a contractor, I developed the TuneVault desktop application using Adobe AIR, Flash Builder, ActionScript 3, SQLite database and XML. Catering to Apple iTunes users, the app features custom options for Mac and Windows users to choose their entire iTunes directory. If the user prefers a Linux OS or they simply aren't an iTunes user, another custom option allows manual selection of a media directory to backup.
