Bobby Berberyan [LION]’s Summary

Making websites FLASH! by creating rich and engaging applications for the internet. I use my talent as designer and developer to render/compose/compile fluid applications that ensure a regular user-return-rate.

My philosophy that "technology should be invisible to the user" stands testament to all my accomplishments and their successive business objectives as my expertise ranges from "actor" to "director" in all my internet endeavors.

Nothing is more rewarding than knowing that people benefit from my work on a global and daily basis.
