CityVille was the largest game on Facebook by monthly active users, according to AppData. In CityVille, our players build the city of their dreams. Players can build homes, businesses, famous landmarks and public buildings to grow their city. In addition, players can socialize within cities with their family and friends by asking them to help by working in community buildings, such as police departments, or by building franchises, such as toy stores. CityVille surpassed 61 million MAUs within the first 50 days after launch.

I worked on almost every major feature at CityVille from July 2010 - Oct. 2012
Here are just a few examples

Custom Car Shop Crafting Section
We upgraded the Game's Main Inventory functionaly making it faster, more intuitive and with faceted sections

I helped create a board search tool that could help you find any object on your game board
We introduced a leaderboard display to compete with friends and receive rewards
This Quest UI was used for a number of features like the Shrink Ray, the Space Shuttle and the Honeymoon Ship
A fun feature where players could invest money into a virtual stock exchange, later partnered with NASDAQ
We had multiple Quest Sagas like this one featuring travel
A Mock up of the loading screen of the aiport feature. Send planes to neighbors!
I also worked on our first expansion, CityVille Downtown. The first expansion at Zynga within the main game board
Dynamic quest UI built so it could be reused my times over - Loch Ness Monster, Tree of Life etc. etc.
And our second expansion, Lakefront. Animated animation in the top right (New tech and reusable dialog)
Announcement for one of the Greenhouse features. We used the same UI direction for building super neighborhoods
Achievement system and new Quest manager spec work
