Summary

I provide web and software development services primarily in Actionscript, Flex and Python. I am organized, detail-oriented, articulate and most importantly, able to consistently deliver object oriented code in a timely fashion.
I am an expert in Actionscript 3 and Flex, having been the sole developer on several business web sites from beginning to end, including such details as shooting and editing photos and video. As a result of this, I am highly familiar with HTML, CSS, XML, JSON and other web technologies and languages, and am moderately proficient in Photoshop, Illustrator and basic video editing software such as FInal Cut Pro.
Additionally I have been a member of project teams working to produce enterprise level touchscreen applications in Flex, Flash, Python and OpenGL.
Please feel free to contact me with any questions you may have, and I am happy to provide potential customers with samples of work relevant to their projects.
