I wrote my first Space Invaders clone in BASIC in the early nineties. I have been making websites since 1995. Web technology and I are buddies. I studied interaction design under David Cuartielles, inventor and cofounder of the Arduino open-source platform for physical interaction. I later went on to teach an introductory Arduino course at Simon Fraser University in Vancouver, BC. More recently, my work at Zynga gave me tons of experience designing and maintaining scalable distributed systems. I also got the opportunity to lead a small team of talented frontend engineers. I work for the industry leading agency Formidable Labs out of Fremont, Seattle, building the next generation web applications. Specialties: * Frontend web app engineering using modern JavaScript. * Full-stack web engineering (LAMP, Node.js) * UX Design, prototyping and implementation. * Physical interaction, sensors, Arduino.
