Bloomberg Sports Front Office 2011 is an RIA built with Flex that provides tools for fantasy baseball players. The application, powered by Bloomberg Sports’ statistical analysis and forecasting capabilities, contains a set of preseason and in-season tools that make draft, free-agent, trade and lineup optimization recommendations. Front Office 2011 syncs with ESPN, Yahoo and CBS fantasy leagues and gives casual fantasy baseball players like myself a simple alternative to my usual reactionary, guess-based approach to managing fantasy sports teams.

On this project, I was responsible for the front-end development of the marketing and ecommerce pages (built with Ruby on Rails) and the application wrapper pages (JSP). I was also one of three front-end Flex developers responsible for the styling the application. Under the guidance of senior Flex stylers, I used a combination of graphical and programmatic skinning along with SASS for the CSS which helped to organize and simplify the cumbersome stylesheets. I also wrote a few simple Flex components and worked with the hardcore Flex guys on developing some more complex components.
