Alejandro Miguel Quarto’s Summary

I joined Persuasive Games Latin America, S.A. in 2006 as a General Manager. In this role, i'm responsible for studio management, testing, technology and strategy.

Prior to joining to Persuasive Games, i've started my career in interactive entertainment as a freelance programmer using different object-oriented programming tools specifically specializing in Macromedia Flash, Shockwave, and Java development platforms among others.

In 2002 I've co-founded Platico Games Studio in Buenos Aires, Argentina where I have developed games for clients such as: Claxson Interactive Group, Budweiser, Mattel, Turbo Video Brazil, Canal 13 (TV) Argentina, and FM HIT in Chile.
In additional to working as producer at Platico Games Studio, I have worked as a lead engineer at Persuasive Games prior to joining its team. In this position I've designed and developed video games.

As developer, I am an active contributor in communities like actionscript.org. and I also research and write examples and tutorials about Flash developent.

I'm currently teaching about Flash development, in an institute located in Buenos Aires. As an intructor, i'm teaching how to develop webs and games, for online content.
