I consider myself somewhat of an authority on Interaction Design and Front-end Web Development. I enjoy creating complex projects including practical applications and story-driven experience sites; especially the earlier phases where I can collaborate and influence the end product through iterative wire-framing and prototyping cycles. I’m becoming more and more “technology agnostic” being primarily considered a flash developer for the last few years.
I’ve attempted to diversify my interface development languages exploring the potential of HTML, CSS, JQuery, and PHP, as well as building mobile experiments in Android, Objective-C, and HTML5. I’m keen on extending campaigns into the mobile space and creating bridges between multiple devices.
I also have a strategic sensibility and know where things are moving online, encouraging clients and co-workers to adopt new technology and spend time on R&D to prototype hybrid tools and games that bring people together in a collaborative spirit.
