Summary

I am a developer, with roots in design, that has the ability to apply creative strategy for enabling highly complex, innovation software solutions. I always strive to push the envelope, while always incorporating efficiency, effectiveness and sound creative strategies to all my projects.

With twelve years of professional experience, I have an award winning track records in Advanced Flash Platform Development (Flash/Flex/AIR), along with various other development technologies. My experience has also spread outside of the traditional desktop into physical objects, where I have been using my experience in interaction design, educational learning theory and electronics to prototype a variety of early childhood developmental toys that are currently being reviewed.
