About Me
Member of Technical Staff at Lytro, cofounder at WeGIF. Still new to the Bay area.
Also on twitter, linkedIn, flickr, vimeo and google.
For the last 10 years I have been freelancing and working in the fields of web, interactive, motion graphics, video and design. I specialize in Adobe Flash AS3 sites and apps with rich and engaging interfaces. In 2007 I began programming with Python and the Django framework with deployment on the Google and AWS clouds.
I tend to find myself in the position of bridging technology and design, helping create things that real people use by working closely with the engineering, design and management teams along the lifetime of a project.
In August 2011 I joined Lytro to help lead the picture revolution and make lightfield photography a part of our everyday world.
