Over 2 decades of evolving multimedia experience both designing and programing meaningful visual experiences with a strong focus in balancing usability with original experiences. For example, my design and animations for Sawaya Segalas which were recognized by Adobe who awarded myself as the lead, and my team when I was at Temel Inc The Adobe Site of the day Award. Another example was my work for a Cover Girl email campaign that received over one million impressions – which was an interactive mandala unique to the name of each recipient. Excellent communication to easily interact with clients and team members of various disciplines. Most importantly, the ability to be open to and thereby learn from anyone that I can. My motto is, “tell me how I may do better“ and I leave my ego for when I make music. Expert level Photoshop and Illustrator skills that I can easily translate into standardize typescript/javascript for any marketing need. Currently rounding out my skills as a Full-Stack developer specializing in Apache/PHP/MySQL and Node.js/Mongo db.

Senior Software Engineer
Responsibilities included working with a small front-end team on a large scale (over 1,200 classes) Flex project. The product that I helped to develop and support leverages the PureMVC framework to help us build modular components that are portable to meet current and future client demands. Our front-end code leveraged a complex event/notification system and interacted with a Java back-end. The nature of the product is a tool that allows users to build complicated, tailored learning experiences.
