OBJECTIVE
To design and develop interactive multimedia and work alongside talented individuals.

GENERAL BACKGROUND
I completed both High School and College with Honours. During these years I mainly studied and became fond of Programming, Media Design, Digital 3D, and Photography. I also just recently completed my Masters with a focus on Interactive Development & Design, and the Development & Design of Games and Media. I am a quick learner, a perfectionist, and I adapt well to new environments. My main passion for the moment is creating Interactive Content in Flash. I also know in Python, Java, C#, HTML, CSS, JavaScript and PHP. I just finished creating an immersive tracking system which allows participants to interact with content using only their physical presence and movement. I’m also quite familiar with the field of digital 3d, and never turn down a chance to incorporate 3d into my applications.
