Martin Burford
Front-End Developer
Senior Web Developer
AKQA
- October 2011 - December 2011
- London, UK


Role overview
- I worked at AKQA on a large project for one of their biggest clients, Nike, focusing on a complex mapping implementation. This involved latitudinal and longitudinal projections to enable dynamic tile loading via cached webservices. The main reason for this was because the mapping application was expected to receive around 100,000+ marker points, which quite obviously couldn't all be added to a single map instance at once. I wrote all the JavaScript through a number of custom Nike namespaces to allow a huge number of configurable variations of just how (and more importantly, when) different geolocational datasets were appended to the map.
